Savory Zucchini Parmesan Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 cups whole wheat flour
    2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
    4 teaspoons baking powder
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    1/3 cup olive oil
    4 eggs, beaten
    2 cups buttermilk
    1/4 cup honey
    1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
    2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
    2 cups grated parmesan cheese, divided
    2 cups grated zucchini
Preparation
    Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pan spray the loaf pans or brush them with olive oil (either 6 3x5 loaves or 12 2x4 loaves).
    In a large bowl using a whisk, combine the flours, baking power, baking soda, and salt.
    In the center of the mixture, make a well and add the oil, beaten eggs, buttermilk, honey, rosemary, thyme, 1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese, and the grated zucchini. Stir together in the bowl with a wooden spoon, but do not overmix (you don't want the dough to become tough).
    Evenly divide the dough between the prepared pans, then top with the reserved 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan.
    Bake in 350 degree oven for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes clean (baking times will vary according to ovens, altitude, and sizes of pans).
    Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.
    Makes approximately 6 3x5 loaves or 12 2x4 loaves.
