What is Quick bread’?
A quick bread is an American term used to describe a type of bread (or baked good) which is leavened with leavening agents other than yeast e.g. baking powder and/or baking soda. They are dense but very moist baked goods made mostly by using the all-in-one method.
Examples of quick breads:
Some cakes, brownies, fruit breads like banana bread, corn bread, muffins and pancakes.
History:
Quick breads probably originated from the United States of America at the end of the eighteenth century. Before that, baked goods were leavened with either yeast or by mixing dough with eggs. During the American Civil War, demand for food rose and bread was therefore rapidly made and leavened with baking soda instead of yeast. That was how the name came to be – “quick breads”
My story:
I fell in love with the art of baking in my freshman year of high school. I took a “Creative Cooking” class with a wonderful and quirky teacher called Ms. Minadeo, I have been baking ever since.

My feature recipe for today is my absolute favorite – Banana Bread, there are many variations of the banana bread, I will share my own version.

Enjoy your quick bread ^_^
I personally can boast having tasted “Mo's Bakery” original delights more than once and you my dear, have a talent.
I wish you all the best in your endeavour to create what could possibly be the next big bread and cake house in Kenya. Your treats have that home-made “Just-like-mom-used-to-make-them” quality that is just not there in the stuff you find in stores nowadays.Can't wait till you have a full-fledged bakery so you can show them how its done. You definitely have a lifetime customer in me. By the way can I place an order here or is there another way?

How much do you sell one bread and how do you deliberate on the price? Am aspiring to start baking and banana bread in particular.

Hello, our Banana bread is 150/-. To get your costs, quantify the costs of ingredients and packaging required to make the loaf, then also quantify your daily or monthly expenses and include them and then add the percentage of profit that you would like to gain and add it. Expenses would be i.e. (labor, utilities, and other miscellaneous expenses)
