Also, if you’ve ever wondered what’s the difference between summer squash, zucchini, and yellow zucchini, you’re not alone! According to a Kitchn article that addresses “What’s the Difference Between Zucchini and Yellow Squash, ” it’s primarily the shape of them as they all have the same mild flavor. However, the summer squash has a fatter bottom and tampered neck.

Making this bread is super simple and fast to put together. The only additional equipment required is a box grater for the squash. I’ve had my box grater for years and found this similar Cuisinart Box Grater on Amazon for a great price.

Start by grating your summer squash using the large holes on the box grater. The recipe calls for a cup of grated squash, and usually one summer squash is enough for this.

Although the method in the recipe below looks quite long, it is much easier than it first appears. You can make the lemon glaze while the bread is baking in the oven, which means it will be ready to pour on as soon as the bread is cooked.

Next, cover the top with a piece of foil or create a foil tent. This should protect it for the rest of the cooking time.
