Courgette (zuchini) Veggie Loaf

This is a really tasty and easy to make loaf/bread - without yeast.
(The measurements of the celery, onion and coriander/parsley dont have to be exact)

Oven: 180190 deg. C - approx. 1 hr. - *test with a skewer about 45 mins. in to baking time.
Ingredients:
(A)
approx 4 sticks of celery 
1 onion - skinned
small amount of oil for sauteeing veg.

(B)
1 lb. (approx. 500g.) self raising flour or plain flour with about 8 tsps of baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
pepper
2 fl. ozs olive oil
handful of chopped coriander (or parsley)
**

(C)
1/2pt. milk less 2 tablespoons
1 egg

1. Put (A) the celery and onion in a food processor and whiz together - (not too mushy) 
or chop fairly finely.
2. Saute the veg in the oil until translucent - remove and set aside.
3. Place (B) ingredients into a bowl.
4. Mix the egg and milk (C) together and add to the flour mix.
5. Add the sauteed veggies.
6. Mix gently together, then knead lightly on a floured surface.
7. Knead into required shape, place on a greased surface and bake.*

This can be served warm or cold with butter - delicious.
Store in a plastic bag - (reuse a plastic loaf bag is fine).  This should keep well for a few days - if it's not eaten beforehand!

**Note:Chopped Bacon can also be added.
