Students in our vocational club and VarietyWorks program, just can’t get enough of making Zucchini Bread. Not only is it delicious, but they get to see and learn the process of making the bread from start to finish.
First, they grow the zucchini in our garden, then take it into our kitchen and use it to bake the bread, and finally, they go out and sell it in the community. It’s an amazing hands-on learning experience.
We wanted to share the delicious recipe from our kitchen so you can make it at home to enjoy with your family!
