What is a quick bread?
Let me get this one thing straight: Quick bread does not mean it is quick to bake. In fact, many quick bread recipes take about an hour to bake.
They are called quick breads because they don’t contain yeast and for that reason they don’t need to be proved. Once you have whipped up the batter, it goes right into the oven.
How are quick breads leavened/How do quick breads rise?
For all quick bread recipes, instead of yeast, baking powder and/or baking soda are used for rising.
They can be made with batter (muffins, cornbread, loaf breads) or dough (scones, biscuits).
