- Add flour and gently mix, batter will be thick. Then add zucchini and stir until incorporated.
- Transfer batter into previously prepared loaf pan and level with spatula. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Remove bread from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack to cool off for 10 minutes. Then remove bread from a loaf pan and let it cool completely, so the glaze can stick to it.
