AboutElyse Grau Expertise I can answer any questions about baking. The only thing I'm not too good at is baking pies, nor do I know much about high altitude baking.
Experience I have been baking for over 30 years. One of my hobbies is creating recipes, most of those for baked goods. I made my own wedding cake. Currently I prefer to bake healthier things. I use a lot of whole wheat and other whole grain flours, and prefer to use less sugar or sugar substitutes in my baking. I do a lot with fruit.
Question Can you please tell me why my zucchini bread would collapse during baking? I followed the recipe exactly as written, I've made this recipe three times. The first time it came out perfect, after that they just collapsed.
Answer Marge:
I'm really not sure. It could have risen too much/too fast. Zucchini bread is usually a pretty dense batter, so it wouldn't be able to sustain a high rise. Perhaps the zucchini was riper the second and third times and had more moisture. That would have made the batter heavier. I assume it is a standard z. bread recipe? How do you mix it? You are the second person to ask that question recently, thought the first questioner's bread collapsed after it came out of the oven.
