Savory Zucchini Bread

I've been wanting to make this bread for a long time now. I'm glad I finally got some time to do it! Delicious bread!! Very soft, like a wheat bread but with more flavor. Oh by the way mine kind of fell in the middle a little bit because I let it rise a little too long before baking, but it was still delicious.
