A Brief History of Quick Breads

Quick breads, as the name suggests, are designed to be fast and straightforward. Unlike traditional bread, which relies on yeast for leavening, quick breads use baking powder or baking soda, making them ideal for busy cooks. Variations of quick breads have been enjoyed worldwide for centuries, but the inclusion of cheese and herbs adds a unique, savory twist that pairs beautifully with a range of cuisines.
