What is a Quick Bread?

A quick bread is a type of bread that uses baking soda or baking powder instead of yeast. And, it is allowed to be baked immediately after mixing. No kneading or waiting for the bread to rise. Just make the batter and bake it.

Best of all! …One bowl, no mixer, and less than 15 minutes to throw it all together – and bake!
