Cooking Notes from Vasudha:
Squeeze the zucchini hard to get as much moisture as possible out. (This is the key to not ending up with a soggy mess)
Store the bread in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days at room temperature or up to 3 months in the freezer. Defrost at room temperature for 4-5 hours or overnight.
