Quick Bread Tips & Tricks

Check out this tutorial for How to Measure Flour. Ensure all ingredients are room temperature. Mix in dry ingredients just until combined, overmixing will cause a dry/tough quick breads. Ovens and baking pans can vary, check your bread at least 10 minutes early to ensure it doesn’t overcook. Allow the bread to cool in the pan about 5 minutes, remove from the pan and place on a cooling rack to cool completely. Lining the pan with parchment paper makes it easy to lift the loaf out once cooked.
