What is a quick bread? Quick breads are made with chemical leavening agents like baking soda and baking powder rather than yeast. They require no resting time and are baked immediately, hence the name "quick".
Quick breads make an excellent gift or shareable treat during the holidays. Gingerbread is an especially popular choice and goes great with your morning tea or coffee.
