When I had a mountain of zucchinni in my kitchen thanks to friends and family, I wasn't sure how to use it all. I asked my facebook friends for tips. In addition to serving some sauteed and making a quadruple batch of chocolate zuke bread, I processed about 20 C. in the food processor and froze it for future baking. One friend suggested I freeze some in ice cube trays to be added to smoothies and sauces for an extra boost of nutrition. What a great idea!
Apple Ladder Loaf is one of the tastiest things I've ever made! Mmmmmm!
Ali and I made 4 loaves in the week following our trip to the orchard for various social functions and everyone agreed that it was amazing stuff!
I wanted to try making pumpkin-shaped rolls but I had never done it before. I discovered that adding food coloring to the dough is very difficult, especially when you have a huge double batch of dough to work with. I used my favorite, tried-and-true roll recipe. My cousin suggested that next time instead of using food coloring I should try adding juiced carrots to the liquid part of the dough in place of some of the water or milk. I took a small part of dough and dyed it green to make stems with and since I had extra I made a few "zucchinni rolls." Next time I think I'll try making actual pumpkin roll dough for pumpkin-shaped rolls!
