Quick bread recipes......
Posted: Sat Mar 07, 2009 1:30 pm
I'm often times an impatient cook/baker. I like the taste of homemade bread made with yeast but I don't have 3 or 4 hours at a stretch to wait for all that rising, etc.
So, I searched an old cookbook given to me by my late MIL and found a quick bread/muffin section in an old Betty Crocker cookbook (circa 1960s.....).
Found this muffin recipe which I halved and converted to a small loaf of bread. It was so good! Feel free to post your own quick bread recipes. I'd like to collect more recipes than this one.
Apple Muffins/Quick Bread
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/4 cup oil
2 cups all-purpose flour (or you could use 1 cup whole wheat, 1 cup all purpose)
1/4 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup grated apple
Heat oven to 400. Grease bottoms of 12 muffin cups (or two medium sized loaf pans). Tip-if making bread, line pan with large sheet of foil, forming entire inside with foil and spray with cooking spray. Beat egg; stir in milk, oil and grated apple. Mix in remaining ingredients until flour is moistened. Batter should be lumpy. Pour into muffin cups or loaf pans. Sprinkle topping (listed below). Bake 15 to 20 minutes for muffins, 25 to 30 for bread.
Topping: Mix 1/3 cup brown sugar (packed), 1/3 cup chopped nuts (optional) and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
