Method
 

Build the Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat a 9x5 inch bread pan with non-stick spray or butter.
  2. Grate the zucchini and squeeze out the excess moisture using a paper towel or cheesecloth.
  3. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  4. Combine milk and vinegar in a small bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then whisk in melted butter and egg.
  5. Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients gently until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  6. Fold in the grated zucchini, sharp cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for about 1 hour until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes before slicing.
