Рецепт Zucchini Golden Raisin and Sunflower Seeds Bread
I haven’t tasted a better zucchini quick bread than this. The moist golden loaf makes a great seasonal or hostess gift. I almost tampered with perfection on my trial run with the recipe (from Lou Seibert Pappas’ A Harvest of Pumpkins and Squash), but then decided to go with the original version, and am I ever glad I did - it’s delightful. The balance of spice with brown sugar, and the crunch of toasted sunflower seeds - in a word - divine! This is now my zucchini nut bread recipe keeper!
