  • Cook's Note: When measuring flour, we spoon it into a dry measuring cup and level off the excess. (Scooping directly from the bag compacts the flour, resulting in dry baked goods.)
  • Try not to use dark coated baking pans; the quick bread could get too dark.
  • Most quick breads taste better if left to sit overnight.
