hi welcome back to rule of thumb today  we're going to talk about big breaths
  quick breads do not involve yeast or  waiting for the bread to rise they
  simply involve combining the ingredients  and the combination of baking soda and
  or baking powder is what will cause the  bread to rise I have been working on
  recipe for many years  that is a very adaptable recipe as
  you've seen in my past videos I do like  things that are adaptable and can change
  on the fly based on the ingredients I  have on hand so this recipe is exactly
  that today I'm gonna make zucchini bread  but as I go through the recipe with you
  I will give you some of the suggestions  on changes that you can and cannot make
  I will also try to put the recipe in the  description box below as you know I'm
  new to this so I'm still trying to  figure everything out but I will talk
  about it as we go through the video what  we're gonna do from here is I'm gonna
  get all the ingredients together and  then I'll bring it back and we'll put it
  together and get it any other ok so  we're back we've got all the ingredients
  together so we're gonna go through these  one by one we're going to talk about
  some of the things you can and can't do  as far as substitutions and then how
  we're going to proceed from them so the  first thing we're going to start out
  with is I have here one cup of  applesauce now I use applesauce instead
  of oil just because I feel it's a  healthier option is absolutely not
  necessary you can substitute even amount  one cup of any oil of your choice but I
  like the applesauce out like Moisture it  gives and it makes me feel a little bit
  better about eating it so you know it is  what it is so we're going to combine
  that with three eggs and I've got two  and a quarter cups of sugar here so as
  you can see those three eggs two and a  quarter cups of sugar we're gonna
  combine those get those all mixed  together now sugar wise I've used white
  sugar I've used the pure cane sugar I  would imagine you could mix white and
  brown if you want although I've never  done that because I
  really feel the need for the sweetness  so two and a quarter cups of sure
  alright then what I got here in this  bowl is I have got one teaspoon of
  baking powder and one teaspoon of baking  soda that is a no change part of the
  recipe so you're always going to have  one teaspoon of each in there I also
  have one teaspoon of salt as far as I'm  concerned the salt is necessary to bring
  out the sweetness of the recipe if you  really are trying to go no sodium at all
  I imagined you could leave it out but it  might alter the flavor slightly what I
  have here is I have two teaspoons of  pumpkin pie spice and one teaspoon of
  ginger now these warm seasonings are  something you can vary widely I've used
  cinnamon and nutmeg I've used cinnamon  nutmeg and ginger I've added allspice in
  there so really any combination up to  three teaspoons of any warm spices work
  well when you but you want to consider  what you're add in as far as fruit
  and/or vegetable this so that's where  this measuring cup comes up so you
  always want to have two cups of what I  consider an at it what I have here is I
  have some grated zucchini in the freezer  and when I thought it out it was a
  little less than two cups so I added a  little bit of apple sauce to it to bring
  it up to the two cup mark I have you Zhu  kini i have used shredded carrot you do
  have to shred it finely  I have used canned pie filling Apple
  blueberry lemon I've used I've used  whole fruit like canned fruit like
  mandarin oranges cherries those types of  things it really is a very forgiving
  recipe you just want to cups of a moist  I know that's you know a word that most
  people can't stand but it's the only  word that accurately describes what
  you're looking for so two cups of them  added and then what I have here is three
  cups of flour I have used all-purpose  I've used self-rising I've used bread
  flour what I have here today is a white  whole wheat flour so again super
  forgiving the last thing you see here I  have one cup of walnuts nuts are a plus
  or minus some people like them some  people don't sometimes I add them
  sometimes I don't you could also do  chocolate chips peanut butter chips you
  could do coconut I mean the  possibilities are really endless and
  I've tried pretty much everything I will  say if you're going to use any type of
  chip whether it be chocolate chip peanut  butter chips butterscotch chips any of
  those types of things  when I use those I mix them in with my
  flour to coat them with the flour which  helps them to more evenly distribute in
  the batter so just a little secret tip  there so that's the cast of ingredients
  what I'm gonna do from here is I'm going  to mine the one cup of applesauce the
  two and a quarter cups of sugar and the  three eggs I'm gonna use the whisk
  attachment on my KitchenAid stand mixer  and I'm gonna let this go for a few
  minutes until it's light and frothy and  I'll bring you back so you can see what
  I'm talking about okay and we're back so  I have this in my mixer here for a
  couple minutes I just want to kind of  bring you in I'm not sure how well you
  can see this this way so that's really  what we're looking for just for it to be
  well incorporated to get some air in  there kind of light and frothy you see
  there's some bubbles on the top of there  I think you can see that so that's where
  we want to be with that mixture from  here what we're going to do is mix in
  all of the dry ingredients so our flour  and all of our spices in the salt and
  the baking powder and the baking soda  and get that well incorporated and then
  I'll bring back so you can see where I  just wanted to bring you back real quick
  just mention what I do if you can see  here with the flower is I put all of my
  dry ingredients in there all of my  spices and everything and I used a whisk
  and I whisked it up what I find is this  just make sure that it's evenly
  distributed you won't end up with any  lumps or anything that's not evenly
  mixed so I just thought I'd bring you  back and show you that and now we're
  gonna get this mixed in with the egg  mixture and I'll bring you back okay
  we're back so a couple things I wanted  to mention that I should have probably
  said in the beginning I did get my oven  started preheating to 375 it's always
  best any time you're gonna bake anything  first thing you do turn your oven on
  that way by the time you're ready to put  it in the oven your ovens at the
  temperature you need it to be and you're  not waiting to get things in the oven so
  the oven is heating up to 375 the other  thing I wanted to mention is when you're
  using a KitchenAid mixer if you're using  a KitchenAid mixer make sure that you
  pausing as you're mixing to scrape the  sides of the bowl unless you have the
  scraper paddle but if not make sure your  script synthesizable and that's what
  will ensure that everything's getting  thoroughly mixed you can certainly do
  this with a hand mixer you could even do  this by hand I don't because I have a
  mixer so that's what I'm using but you  can certainly do it any of those wipes
  so now we're at the point let's took  this up here you can see it's a kind of
  a thick batter that's kind of holding on  to the whisk at this point so now what
  we're gonna do is we're gonna add in our  zucchini applesauce mixture as well as
  our walnuts and get that all mixed in  inevitably I usually end up spilling
  half of this on me or on the counter but  this time
  looks like I might elect up must be my  lucky charm
  so we got the zucchini in there and  walnuts in there we're gonna bring this
  back down and we'll let this mix for a  minute and I'll bring you back when
  we're ready to put it in the pants okay  so we got everything together here you
  can still you see it's still a kind of a  medium batter so it's not so thick that
  you can't pour it but it's not so thin  that it's runny so that's kind of right
  where you want it if you feel your  batter is a little too runny you can add
  a little bit more flour if you feel that  your batter is so thick that it's not
  gonna be a moist bread you can add a  little moisture add a little water or a
  little juice or I've even added coffee  in the past depending on what
  ingredients I have in there like some  leftover coffee any kind of a liquid you
  could add in to bring it back to this  but this is kind of the consistent your
  consistency you're looking for so we're  gonna get our beater cleaned up here
  which zucchini is I was a fight so I'm  actually going to come back once I got
  this off of here okay honestly I  probably should have left the camera
  running because I'm not sure at one  point I wasn't sure who was gonna win
  that battle me or there zucchini it was  pretty much a comedy of errors but I
  think your most without there one of the  other things I like to do is make sure I
  get my spatula all the way down to the  bottom just in case there's anything
  stuck to the bottom or any dry  ingredients that's settled just give it
  one last thorough mix make sure  everything's mixed in then what we're
  gonna do so we're gonna grab our pans I  just use two hi4 loaf pans I use the
  baking spray that has the oil and flour  in it you could certainly use
  anything you want to use you could use  Crisco and flour you can use oil and
  flour you can use butter and flour  whatever you find is tried-and-true for
  your pans is what I recommend but just a  little but that's what I got so I got
  two of these I'm gonna split this batter  between these two I'm gonna pop them
  into the oven for about 55 minutes we'll  come back and check we're looking for a
  toothpick to come out clean and that  will determine if they're done or not so
  I'll bring you back when we're to that  point and show you what it looks like
  okay so we had the bread in the oven for  about 60 minutes I actually got a little
  distracted so they went about five  minutes longer than I would like them to
  but they're still perfect they're gonna  be moist and delicious I usually let
  mine sit on the pay him for a minute and  then take them out of the pan and I like
  to tip mine on the side because  otherwise I feel like the bottom doesn't
  let the heat out so this is how I choose  to let mine cool
  so that is zucchini bread like I said  I'll try and get the recipe down in the
  description box I hope you enjoyed this  video if you did please like share
  subscribe come back and see me soon and  as always I hope you have a great day
