What are quick breads? Quick breads are made using chemical leavening agents, namely baking powder or baking soda, instead of yeast. The term “quick bread” is appropriate, as these items don’t involve the long rising times that yeast breads require. From muffins, scones and biscuits to cornbread, pancakes and waffles, quick breads are a great way to get satisfying baked goods on the table a lot faster than traditional yeast baking.
Mixing Methods Quick breads contain varying ratios of flour, oil or butter, sugar, eggs and salt, as well as leavening agents and flavor add-ins. What makes them distinct in texture is the mixing method used. Choose from the following mixing methods for your desired taste, texture and type of quick bread.
Muffin Method: The most commonly used technique is the muffin method that results in a batter rather than dough. Its processes keep quick breads light and tender. Mix all dry ingredients in one bowl, and then mix the liquid ingredients thoroughly in a separate bowl. Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients and mix just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Some small lumps should remain, as overmixing yields dry quick breads. Gently incorporate add-in ingredients into the batter near the end of mixing.
Cream Bread Recipe
Creaming Method: This method mixes the butter more thoroughly with the sugar before combining other ingredients to produce rich, smooth quick breads. Combine softened butter with sugar, salt and other flavorings and beat or vigorously stir until the mixture is fluffy. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, and any liquid ingredients. In a separate bowl, sift together the dry ingredients and add to the mixture. Gently incorporate flavor add-ins last.

Check out these ingredient ideas for your own comforting masterpiece.Muffins, coffeecakes, scones, and pancakes are examples of quick breads, that like their name implies, can be prepared quickly in a kitchen. While yeast breads require time to for fermentation, quick breads use chemical leavening agents including baking powder and baking soda, which creates carbon dioxide rapidly and can be mixed and baked in a short amount to time.
Quick breads are prepared with flour, eggs, sugar, fats and liquids including milk, buttermilk, or sour cream, and each plays a part in the overall texture and flavor of the finished product. Flour adds structure to the bread but the batter must be mixed minimally so that the gluten structure doesn’t develop too much. Fats are added for richness and flavor, and when creamed with sugar, they trap air creating lightness in the batter. Sugar, in addition to its interaction with fats, adds flavor, color, and aids in the tenderization of the batter. Eggs provide structure and act as an emulsifier by surrounding fat particles and helping trap air contributing lightness and volume. Eggs also add moisture, color, and flavor to the batter. Liquids moisten the batter, activate gluten in the flour, and help to dissolve the sugars. Liquids include milk, buttermilk, sour cream, juice, or fruit purees. Baking powder and baking soda are leavening agents that give the bread height and lift. When working with baking soda, it requires an acid, such as lemon juice or buttermilk, to activate the carbon dioxide. Add ins can include diced or pureed fruits or vegetables, nuts, chocolate, and spices. Molasses, honey, and other sweeteners can be substituted for the sugar. Cornmeal, whole wheat, or gluten-free flours can be exchanged for the white flour.
Easy Homemade Bread Recipe
Quick breads are prepared by the blending-, creaming-, or biscuit-method which determines the final texture and crumb of the finished product. The blending-method, also known as the muffin-method, combines the wet ingredients in one bowl and dry ingredients in a second bowl before mixing together. In addition to muffins, this method is used for preparing pancakes, crepes, and waffles. The creaming-method combines the fat and sugar which is beaten to add air thereby lightening and increasing the volume. The eggs are emulsified into the creamed fat and sugar, and the dry ingredients are then folded into the batter. This method results in a moist, tender product that is used for muffins and breads. The biscuit-method, also used for scones, is prepared by sifting together the dry ingredients including flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder, the fat is then cut into the dry ingredients, and the mixture is folded together with the liquid producing a dense yet flakey texture.It seems it is the season of quick breads on many a food blog right now, with St. Patrick’s Day this month. “Quick breads” is also the theme for Bread Baking Day (a.k.a BBD) this month.
A quick bread is different from yeasted breads in that chemical leaveners like baking powder and/ or baking soda or cream of tartar are used instead of yeast. So there is no long process of proofing or rising involved here and hence the name “quick” bread.
Quick breads can be made using the muffin method (mixing the dry and wet ingredients lightly), the creaming method (creaming the sugar and fat as for cakes) and the biscuit method (cutting chilled fat into flour as for pie crusts). It is important not to work the dough or batter too much, no matter what method is followed to make quick breads.
Soft And Fluffy Cream Cheese Buns (sponge Dough Method)
Looking for a quick bread to bake for BBD, I decided I wanted to make something “hatke”. In Hindi, the word “hatke” means “away from the trodden path” or “different”. Not Irish soda bread (not this month), not fruit muffins (I just made some strawberry muffins and zucchini bread, and I don’t like banana in bread), no scones or biscuits (want to keep the fats down) or waffles (I should post one of mine) but something “hatke”!
If you were somewhat familiar with the Bollywood (the world of Indian popular cinema) actor lingo of sometime back, “hatke” used to be a favourite expression of many an upcoming actor. Whenever they were asked about their character/ part in a particular movie, many actors would say it was “hatke” meaning different from the usual run of the mill movies everyone else was doing. What this “hatke” would invariably translate as was that they were doing the same old stuff Bollywood was churning out in huge numbers, but that their costume or make-up was different!!
And I must say, my “hatke” story here is somewhat Bollywood style!!! My quick bread didn’t turn out all that different either. If you look carefully at the recipe, you will find that it really is a mega muffin posing as a bread.
Ice Cream Bread Recipe
I found the recipe at Eating Well and I tweaked it slightly to make it eggless and added some raisins. If you are careful to ensure that the batter is not over-mixed, this recipe produces a reasonably light and soft bread. And no one would believe it has oats in it because you just can’t see it in the bread.

Make a well ion the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Very gently mix the two together, taking care not to over mix. The batter will be quite thick and lumpy.; Scrape this batter into a greased loaf pan and sprinkle the 1 1/2 tbsp of oats on top. Bake the loaf at 190C for about 45 minutes till the top is brown (not dark) and a skewer/ knife inserted into the loaf comes out clean.; Cool the loaf in the tin for about 15 to 20 minutes and then turn it out on a rack to cool completely.
