📜 History of Quick Bread

Quick breads became popular in the 18th–19th centuries when baking powder was introduced. Unlike traditional yeast breads that require hours to rise, quick breads use chemical leavening to rise instantly—making them perfect for busy kitchens.

🧬 Formation (What Happens While Baking)

  • Baking powder reacts with liquid → releases gas → dough rises
  • Heat sets the structure → creates soft crumb
  • Butter adds richness and flavor
  • Sugar helps with browning and slight sweetness
