The key to making this whole-grain zucchini bread incredibly moist and tender is using whole-wheat pastry flour—an ingredient that’s worth seeking out and keeping on hand for its fine texture that works beautifully in baked goods. The bread will keep well at room temperature for about 3 days. For longer storage, stack slices between layers of wax or parchment paper, and freeze in a large resealable freezer bag or covered container for up to 2 months.
