Baking Inspiration pt 2: botched bread

Hello blog!

As you all know, I’ve been baking lately and I’ve admittedly been getting a little cocky about my skills in the kitchen. Ever since my apple butter and biscuits turned out so well, I feel like an absolute baking QUEEN. However, my attempt at zucchini bread definitely made me question my newfound skills.

Lauren, Amy and I were bored and we wanted to hang out together so the obvious solution seemed to be making something cool. We originally wanted to make pumpkin bread, but Amy doesn’t like pumpkin so we decided on zucchini bread; one loaf with chocolate chips and one without. The recipe we used was for only one loaf, so Lauren doubled all of the ingredients in the dough, while me and Amy grated the zucchini into little shreds. We used 8 zucchinis all together, which is a TON of zucchini! Once Lauren had made the dough, we combined all of the ingredients in a bowl and mixed it together. When we looked at how much we had produced, it seemed like we had way too much zucchini compared to the dough, which was definitely a red flag.

We then put the plain mixture into the loaf pan and added chocolate chips to the remaining mixture and poured that into a loaf pan. Next, we put the 2 loafs in the oven for 60 minutes. The 3 of us (plus Lauren’s flatmates) hung out at her house for awhile and caught up on our weekends, all of the drama between people, and how we feel about Peter being the next bachelor (excited but honestly still mad that its not Mike).

After an hour we started checking on the bread to see if it was ready, and we checked it 4 times before we started to get worried about it. The middle was still so gooey! I’m not sure what happened, but that bread was nowhere close to being done. We checked on it five times after that and it still seemed undercooked.

Ultimately, we decided to take the loafs out of the oven because it was burning the top portion of the bread while the middle still wouldn’t cook! We ate our doughy and gooey zucchini bread and it was kinda gross.

Hopefully I’ll have better luck in my next baking endeavor.
