These quick-fix breads are very gratifying for beginning and expert bakers alike, as the preparation and baking are quick and the results, superb. Whether you need a hearty muffin to start the day, an elegant loaf to slice for a brunch celebration or even a savory specialty to accompany lunch or supper, you'll find the right recipe in this book devoted to Sweet Muffins; Savory Muffins; Biscuits, Scones, Popovers and Doughnuts; Quick Breads; Coffee Cakes; and Butters and Spreads.
Quick Breads can be made in minutes, since they do not require the prolonged kneading and lengthy rising and proofing. Instead of yeast, these breads are made with rising agent such as baking powder or baking soda that begins to release gas bubbles the moment it is moistened. When making quick breads, it is important to blend the wet ingredients separately and combine then just before baking. Swift, gently mixing is essential because if the batter is beaten too vigorously, the gluten in the flour will strengthen the mixture and the texture of the loaf or muffins will be tough. Also added some of our favorite coffee cake recipes, perfect with morning coffee, snacks or desserts.
