Quick bread Recipes include Apricot Recipes, Almond Recipes and Whole Wheat bread Recipe

Quick bread recipes go way back before the colonies. The overall classification refers to loaves (sometimes called tea bread recipes), muffins and pancakes which are considered “quick” because they customarily rely on baking powder or baking soda for fast leavening, unlike yeast. The following tea bread recipes are best cut right before serving.
