Steps
- season12 minshreds salted, rested, squeezed ONCEthe grated zucchini tossed with 1/2 tsp salt and left ten minutes, then gathered in a towel for one moderate squeeze — the calibrated middle of the water war: enough pressed out to save the crumb's center, enough left in to keep the name honest. The skins stay on; the green flecks are the point
- whisk2 minflour + soda + powder + cinnamon + nutmeg + remaining salt — soda for the browning, powder for the lift, the quick-bread standard pair
- whisk3 minwet: eggs + oil + both sugars + vanillauntil thick and uniform — the oil-based batter that keeps quick breads moist for days, the same bet carrot cake makes and for the same reason
- fold3 mindry into wet, zucchini and walnuts last, minimal strokescombined to the last streak, shreds and nuts folded through — a shaggy, thick batter is right; a pourable one means the squeeze was skipped. Fold in the listed raisins with the zucchini and walnuts at the last streak of flour.
- bake60 min350°F, greased 9x5 loaf, tester clean at the centerthe long low bake all that moisture demands — the top cracks like every good quick bread, the tester goes into the crack's deepest point, and foil tents the top if it browns ahead of the middle; underbaked-center zucchini bread is the second most common failure after the unsqueezed kind
- rest15 min10 in the pan, then on a rackbefore slicing — and like its cousin the banana bread, it is genuinely better wrapped overnight, when the crumb settles from cakey to dense-moist and the cinnamon finds its level
