This zucchini bread with lemon cream cheese frosting and walnuts is a great way to start a party or end a meal. The Anova Precision Oven allows you to bake with the power of steam, which actually speeds up the cooking process. The amount of steam in this recipe—just 15%—is low enough to allow the top of the loaves to get a nice crisp exterior as the baking completes.
