Quick Bread
Quick breads are so called because they require no kneading. They also include baking soda, baking powder or eggs to leaven the bread. As the name, quick breads are quick to make. Quick breads are considered unleavened bread because they require no leavening agent. Grains, seeds, nuts, and mashed fruit are often added to the bread for flavor, texture and moisture.
Popular Quick Breads
The most popular of quick breads is of course, banana bread. The second most popular quick bread, in my humble culinary opinion, is pumpkin bread. From dates to sunflower seeds, anything and everything has been added to these two types of quick breads. Here at T2T we love us some quick breads!
