Zucchini Pistachio Raisin Quick Bread With Orange Glaze Food

ORANGE ZUCCHINI BREAD WITH ORANGE GLAZE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, oil, vanilla, and orange zest and juice.
• In another large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, cardamom, and baking soda.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, along with the zucchini, and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
• If you'd like to add any nuts, fold in about 1 cup chopped nuts.
• Line two loaf pans with foil or parchment paper, letting the edges hang over the pans. This is a MUST - bread wants to stick to pan. Coat with non-stick spray.
• Divide batter between prepared pans.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes, or until tops and edges are golden, and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
• Remove pans to a wire rack to cool for 15-20 minutes. Do not cool in pan -- bread likes to stick.
• Run a knife along any edges that may have seeped and stuck to the pan.
• Remove loaves from pan using the foil or parchment paper edges. Cool completely.
• Meanwhile, prepare glaze.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together all glaze ingredients until smooth.
• Depending on how juicy your orange was, you may need to add a little water or more powdered sugar! You should be able to drizzle or pour it, but it shouldn't easily run off the bread.
• Drizzle glaze over cooled loaves. Cut and serve.

ZUCCHINI-PISTACHIO-RAISIN QUICK BREAD WITH ORANGE GLAZE

Steps:

• For the quick bread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly brush one 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan or three 6-by-3-by-2-inch mini loaf pans with melted butter and set aside.
• Combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Add the raisins and pistachios and toss together. Set aside.
• Whisk together the melted butter, yogurt, vanilla extract, eggs and grated zest if using in a small bowl. Stir in the shredded zucchini. Fold this mixture into the flour mixture until just incorporated.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan(s). Tap the bottom on a hard surface a few times and smooth the top.

• Cook's Note: When measuring flour, we spoon it into a dry measuring cup and level off the excess. (Scooping directly from the bag compacts the flour, resulting in dry baked goods.)
• Try not to use dark coated baking pans; the quick bread could get too dark.
• Most quick breads taste better if left to sit overnight.
