Summer Squash Bread (Yellow or Zucchini)

 Gail Stockton (Arizona) says:
This was perfect as written. Received too many yellow squashes, so needed to try something different to use it up. Liked it better than my usual zucchini bread recipe. In fact, making a 2nd loaf right now. Thanks for much for the recipe!

Getting ready to bake my second and 3rd loaves. I really enjoyed this recipe. I also added an additional cup of squash, and nuts. It was perfect, keeps well and plan to freeze one of them for fall. I thickly sliced mine to fit in bagel toaster and was 'outstanding' with a honey/butter spread I made. I also ate it warm with vanilla yogurt and fresh blueberries. Highly recommend baking this bread. Enjoy!!

This recipe makes enough for TWO 9x5x3 loaf pans. I should have used my judgement and not followed the directions which indicate one pan because I had a huge mess in my oven. What I was able to salvage had a nice flavor and I will make again using two pans!

NO ALTERING RECIPE..The recipe is a keeper.. This was a surprise, my husband asked for another piece, he never does that.. With a huge compliment.. My pan is big and it made a big loaf... Took about a hour and a half to cook it.. You will be happy you tried this recipe.. I loved the crust and very moist. I will be making again!!

This is an amazing recipe as is. I get tons of compliments & requests for it! To make it even better, I add in an extra cup of squash for a total of 3 cups & 2 or 3 packets of True Orange brand crystallized orange. It gives a slight citrus flavor that enhances this already great recipe.

I also put in one cup currants nutmeg and ground cloves. I only used 1/2 of the oil and honey that it called for.

This bread was just the best. I added 1/2 cup of blueberries. I had a slight problem, the pan size was to small, so I used 2 pans and had to adjust the baking time and temp for both pans one was a little smaller. Everyone who tried has asked for the recipe. I will make this one again.

Very good even though I forgot about it in the oven. It was a little over done but still good. I made 4 small loaves and ate half a loaf right after it came out of the oven. I'll make this one again, thanks.

Altered recipe: butter flavored Crisco instead of oil. Two and a half cups flour instead of 3 cups. Lemon extract instead of vanilla. Let batter sit for about 10 minutes and stirred in case squash might weep while preheated oven. Baked in 9 x 6. Inch ceramic baking dish instead of loaf pan for one hour.

I made this thinking oh, it's going to be just OK... when my husband ate it he immediately took a few more slices and passed it around, soon after I was receiving calls for this recipe and phrase because it was so good. Once I had a piece I knew what they were talking about, WOW!!! The only thing I would add is another cup of grated squash. Other than that, a perfect recipe. They're hard to come by =)

This recipe was brilliant! It only took about 1/2 an hour in my oven at 350°F though. I liked to sprinkle crushed almonds on top for a nice look. Worked really well with yellow zucchini from the garden. Thank you!
