Zucchini cheddar bread
Another find on Pinterest, a recipe from Simply Ella. My SIL and BIL made it last weekend and they said it was delicious. We'll be giving it a try on our next baking day.
1 1/4 cup warm water
2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
3-4 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
2 cups zucchini, shredded
1/4 cup sunflower oil
1/2 tablespoon salt
Topping:
Oil and extra cheddar for topping
In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the water, yeast, and sweetener- give a quick stir and let sit until yeast becomes active (5ish minutes.)
Stir in oil, salt, cheese, and zucchini, and 2 cups of flour.
Start bread with the dough hook.
Add 1/4 cup of remaining flour and continue to slowly add flour (1-2 tablespoons at a time) until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl.
Let run for 8-10 minutes.
This will give you time to adjust flour and let the dough knead.
Remember- you can always add flour but you can’t always take it away.
The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
Cover with a damp towel and set aside to rise for 1- 1 1/2 hours.
Once the first rise is over, knead a couple of times into the form of a log.
Place in an oiled bread pan, cover again and set aside for about 1 hour.
With 30 minutes left, preheat your oven to 425˚.
Once the loaf has risen the second time, brush with oil and sprinkle with cheese.
Place in oven and if you have a bottle of water, mist the bottom of your oven a couple of times to get some steam going.
Shut the oven door and let bake for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 375˚ and continue to bake for 30 minutes.
Bread should have a golden crust and sound hollow when tapped.
Remove from pan and let cool until you slice it.

We made this a few days ago and the toddlers love it. We used half a large zucchini and sharp white and yellow cheddar we had in the fridge. We used 2 c. AP flour and then added whole wheat flour until it was the right consistency. I think we let it over rise the first time as there was a large dip in the middle after we put it in the oven. It's super tasty though.

You ought to figure out a way to do this with your sourdough starter!
