This isn’t a sourdough bread, but rather a sweet quickbread that’s a great way to use up a bit of discarded sourdough starter. I increased the zucchini to 3/4 cup and wished I’d added a full cup. I also decreased the sugar to 1/2 cut and substituted whole wheat pastry flour for 1/2 cup of the all purpose flour. Finally, I wanted muffins rather than bread so I baked at 375 for around 28 minutes. Tasty! If making this again, I’d probably increase the amount of nuts and raisins.

I love anything with sourdough in it, and this bread was no exception. I like to add 1 cup of chopped walnuts and a little more cinnamon and a little nutmeg. Excellent bread!

Okay, but I think this recipe needed more of main ingredient--the zucchini!

Sourdough sweet bread? I knew it wasn't what I was looking for, but yet I made it anyway. The neighbor liked it. I thought cinnamon and sweet with the sour didn't really work for me. I don't understand why the sourdough starter is in this recipe... it contains Baking powder and soda for leavening.
