Herb and Cheddar Squash Bread
Every year my garden produces an abundance of yellow squash and zucchini, so I’m always looking for new ways to use them up while they’re in season.
Squash and Zucchini work well in bread recipes like this one because they add a good amount of moisture to them. I especially love this recipe because it’s savory instead of sweet making it the perfect way to get homemade bread on the table, plus it uses shredded cheddar and herbs which give it a rich flavor.

- flour
