Quick Bread Basics and Tips
"Quick Breads" means exactly that. Quick-acting leavening agents such as baking powder, baking soda, and eggs, plus the steam created by heat, permit these breads to be baked or cooked as soon as they are mixed. Even the mixing should be quick; overmixing results in coarse-textured or tough bread that won't rise to full volume and will have unattractive tunnels.
Most quick breads are at their best fresh from the oven. Remove loaves and muffins from their baking pan or cups as soon as they are baked or they will steam and become soggy. The exceptions are fruit and nut loaves. These are hard to slice when they are right out of the oven. Allow them to cool slightly before slicing. Or cool, then wrap loaves and leave them overnight, they will develop a mellower flavor and won't crumble when sliced.
Quick Bread Success Tips:
Biscuits - 1) Biscuit dough doubles in height when baked, so roll it half as thick as you want the finished biscuits to be. 2) To avoid making lopsided biscuits, cut the dough with a floured cutter straight down without twisting it. 3) Use a wide spatula to move the cut-out biscuits to a cookie sheet.
Muffins - 1) First, mix the dry ingredients together, then add liquid ingredients all at once and stir just a few strokes to moisten the flour; you want lumps. 2) Spoon batter into muffin cups and 1/2 fill any empties with water. 3) After baking, remove the muffins from the cups at once so they don't steam and get soft.
Tea Breads and Coffeecakes - 1) Test tea breads for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center of loaf. 2) Don't worry about a cracked top.
