My bread smelled amazing! Althought it did not cook evenly, the top cooked well, but the base was a little doughy. I cooked it for an hour and 10 minutes. Do you have to freeze the zucchini before shredding?

The flavor was very tasty but mine turned out very dry. I followed everything in the recipe except cut out 1/2 cup of the sugar. Will not make again.

This is the best Zucchini bread I've ever had. And the added fiber is wonderful! Also super easy to make! Wonderful recipe.
