YEAST BREADS & QUICK BREADS
 
P
eople often think breads are difficult to make—quick breads are not quick enough and yeast breads are scary. They are all easy and delicious when you make them with your own mixes.
 
Let SWEET QUICK-BREAD MIX work wonders on those quick breads you don't have time to make the old way. Check Breakfast & Brunch for additional bread ideas. Our HOT ROLL MIX takes the fear out of working with yeast dough. This versatile mix is the basis for 22 recipes. We've added a savory Tomato-Rosemary Bread, which is great for sandwiches.
 
Quick breads are similar to muffins because they have the same proportion of liquid to dry ingredients. Be careful not to overbeat them. Stir the batter briskly about 30 seconds and let your oven complete the preparation process.
