ZUCCHINI-PARMESAN LOAF

Category: Bread

1/3 cup olive oil, plus more for pan
2 cups flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for pan
1/3 cup milk
2 large eggs
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 4 oz)
2 tsp baking powder
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/2 lb zucchini (about 1 medium), coarsely grated

Preheat oven to 375. Brush a loaf pan with oil; dust with flour, and tap out excess.

In a small bowl, whisk oil, milk, and eggs. In a large bowl, whisk flour, Parmesan, baking powder, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper; mix in zucchini, then egg mixture until just moistened (batter will be very thick, like biscuit dough).

Transfer batter to prepared pan; press in gently. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes (tent with foil if loaf starts to brown too quickly). Cool 15 minutes in pan; turn out loaf onto a rack to cool completely.
