Savory Zucchini Bread
- 1 1/4 cups (158 grams) shredded, unpeeled zucchini (from 1 medium zucchini) (not squeezed or wrung dry)
- 1 cup (113 grams) shredded manchego or aged cheddar (from a 4-ounce piece)
- 1/2 cup (112 grams) extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup (115 grams) whole-milk yogurt, regular or Greek
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest plus 1 tablespoon juice from a large lemon
- 1 1/2 cups (180 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) rye flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 cup (55 grams) slivered almonds (can substitute chopped walnuts)
- 1/2 cup (62 grams) castelvetrano olives, chopped
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Generously butter or oil the bottom and sides of a 9-inch loaf pan. (If your bread pan isn't non-stick, line the bottom with parchment paper for extra insurance.)
- In a medium bowl, use a rubber spatula to mix together the zucchini, cheese, extra-virgin olive oil, yogurt, eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice together until well incorporated.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, rye flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and paprika.
- Pour the zucchini mixture into the dry ingredients, folding a few times with a rubber spatula, then add the almonds and olives. Gently mix until just combined and no flour remains. Scrape batter into prepared pan. (Note: the batter is thick and dense but the resulting bread is not!)
- Bake for about 55 to 65 minutes, rotating the pan about halfway through baking, or until a paring knife or thin skewer inserted into the middle of the bread comes out clean. (Note: don't use a toothpick; it's an unreliable gauge of doneness.) The crust will be golden brown. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove the bread from the pan and cool on a rack completely before slicing. The flavor is even better the next day. Store it in an airtight container or wrapped in foil for 3 to 5 days.
