Tips

Make sure the zucchini bread dough is soft and a bit sticky and, if needed, add flour or water to reach the right consistency.
When proving the dough, keep it in a warm place, like inside the oven with the light turned on or under a wool blanket. Yeast loves warmth!
When shaping the bread knots, keep the other dough pieces under cling film to prevent them from drying out.
If you don’t have time for kneading and proving, you can prepare the dough with a bread machine.
