QUICK BREADS

“Quick” breads are just that-they use chemical leavening such as baking powder and/or baking soda for their structure rather than yeast. So they do not require rising or kneading, they can be baked as soon as the ingredients are mixed. That is why the “CAKE” setting on the Home Bakery is perfect for mixing and baking these simple breads.

Quick breads prepared in the Home Bakery will not fill your bread pan. They rise to about 3 to 4 inches in height – a typical volume for conventionally baked quick breads.

Creating Your Own Quick Bread Recipes

Follow these guidelines for creating your own recipes for flavourful quick breads in the Home Bakery: In general, a cookbook recipe for a 9 x 5 inch or 8 x 4 inch loaf will be a food candidate for the Home Bakery. These recipes call for between 1 and 2 cups of flour and require no special mixing techniques such as beating egg whites.

Very heavy breads such as those made with mostly whole-grain flours and lots of additions such as nuts and raisins should be avoided for the Home Bakery.

Use the recipes in this section as a guide to adding ingredients to breads such as raisins, nuts and dried fruits.

The “CAKE” course setting is the only mode in which quick breads can be successfully made in the Home Bakery. The “MEMORY”, “TIMER”, “BAKING DEGREE”, and “HOME MADE MENU” functions can not be used for quick breads.
