These popular quick bread recipes are all simple, take little time, and are great to make—especially if you are out of yeast.

A collage of several quick bread recipes.

No Yeast REquired!

We love quick bread, mostly because they’re SO easy. No dealing with yeast, no rise times, and almost always faster. What’s not to love about them?!

Making these quick bread recipes from scratch is great for the novice baker! Many of them start with already-made bread and can be changed up to make an even more delicious recipe.

There are so many flavor variations you are sure to find something that can fit into your meal – both sweet and savory.

There is nothing better than a loaf of warm bread straight from the oven!
