TIPS AND NOTES FOR GREEN CHILE ZUCCHINI BREAD

This works best with fresh, roasted green chile, but feel free to use canned. This recipe also makes two loaf pans so you can cut it in half if needed.

A good loaf pan goes a long way in making quick breads at home. I am partial to my Williams Sonoma Traditional Finish Loaf Pan. I've linked it here (not an affiliate link - I just love it). It cooks very evenly, and the bread releases easily. It doesn't break the bank either.

CAN THIS BE MADE AHEAD OF TIME?

Yes, it can. It freezes well and will last a couple of days after being made. You'll need to bake it to completion before storing.
