ONION ZUCCHINI BREAD
3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup finely diced onion
1/2 cup plus
2 Tbsp. finely SHREDDED (not the powdered stuff) Parmesan cheese,divided
5 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup grated zucchini
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a 9" round cake pan. Do not use a smaller one as the bread will
come out too thick.
In a large bowl, combine flour, onion, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese,
baking powder, salt and baking soda.
In a small bowl, beat eggs, blend in buttermilk, oil and zucchini;
stir into flour mixture just until blended. Batter will be fairly thick.
Spoon into prepared pan; spreading evenly. Sprinkle with remaining
2 Tbsp. of Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 40 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes then remove to cool completely
on wire rack.
Cut into wedges when ready to serve and reassemble on a serving plate. Makes 12-16 servings.
