Quick Bread Instructions

Unlike yeast breads, quick breads do not use yeast as the rising agent. Therefore, the knead and rise cycles have been omitted. Instead, quick breads use baking powder or baking soda along with steam to act as a leavening agent.

1. Measure all ingredients into bread pan. Position pan in baking chamber.

2. Select Quick Bread Setting. Press Start/Stop; let ingredients mix for 5 minutes. Using rubber spatula, scrape down sides of the bread pan to eliminate flour pockets in the corners.
