Review:
I doubled this and made half into muffins and half into bread. They both tasted great but lacked a little in the looks department. The bread fell in the middle as did the muffins. The sour cream made the bread so moist. This is a great way to use your zucchini this summer and you don’t have to heat up your kitchen either! 4 stars.
I didn't squeeze the liquid out…
Do you squeeze out the liquid from the zucchini?
Becky, it makes it so the condensation doesn't drip onto the bread, but is absorbed into the towel.
What's the point of putting the towel on top?
