Follow these guidelines for a delicious and foolproof quick bread every time:
Use the
loaf pan size specified
in the recipe.
To bake loaves with gently rounded tops and no “lipping” at the edges
, spray or grease only the bottoms
of loaf pans.
Measure ingredients carefully
to avoid coarse or crumbly texture and dryness.
Chop or shred fruits, vegetables, and nuts
before starting the batter
so that batter does not stiffen.
Keep the loaf light and allow heat to bake the bread all the way through
by using the amount of fruits and/or vegetables specified in the recipe.
Mix quick breads easily by hand with a wooden spoon or spatula
. Most recipes don’t require an electric mixer.
Lengthwise cracks are okay
along the top of the bread.
Cool quick bread completely
before slicing. Cutting while warm causes crumbling. For easiest cutting, store bread, tightly covered, for 24 hours.
Use a sharp, thin-bladed knife
and a light sawing motion to cut cleanly through the loaf.
After cooling, wrap loaves tightly and store
in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to 3 months
