Allotment courgette bread

I was very excited to find a new courgette recipe yesterday as we have just started harvesting them from the allotment and I am expecting several more. I do love them griddled after being covered with lemon juice, olive oil and pepper but only perhaps once or twice a week!

I used this recipe from Freshly Baked and I am now willing the courgettes to grow so I can make more! I sent Harry and Stuart to the allotment last night for some mint and we used one yellow and one green courgette - I love the vibrant colour of the yellow ones. 



The bread was really easy and quick. Harry helped with the initial mix before he went to bed then I did the other stages throughout the evening - it didn't need much attention apart from the shaping so it was easily done whilst getting on with other things. We took a loaf with us for our picnic lunch today and it was popular all round. I have promised Harry the chorizo bread will be next.

  3. We are going to make this today, and the chorizo bread. Bring on the picnic tomorrow! It was lovely to try yours. I think I'm going to make it without the mint, (I don't have any). Yum yum
