- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) baking soda (2 grams)

- 3/4 cup (180 ml) beef milk (180 milliliters)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) vegetable oil (60 milliliters)
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Add the shredded zucchini, cheddar cheese, and chopped fresh herbs to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and egg until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Carefully remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
- Remember to extract excess liquid from the shredded zucchini before adding it to the dry mix to avoid a wet loaf.
- Experiment with alternative cheeses like mozzarella or Gouda to create a distinct flavor profile.
- Customize the selection of fresh herbs to suit your taste preferences or what you have available.
