Quick Bread Mix

Bulk mix suitable for quick breads and/or muffins. These are great baked in mini pans for an assortment on trays for gifts. I also bake a lot for fall bake sales. Three cups of mix makes one large or two medium loaves. Add 1 cup pureed cooked vegetable or fruit such as pumpkin, winter squash, carrots, apricots, applesauce, mashed banana along with whatever nuts, fruits or flavorings you desire.

Step: 1

Mix thoroughly flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt. (Can be stored on the shelf for months.)

Step: 2

Mix 3 cups baking mix, oil, eggs, and 1 cup vegetables or fruits. Add flavorings, nuts, raisins, dates, etc., if desired. Pour into one 8-1/2x4-1/2 inch or two 7-1/4x3-1/2 inch greased loaf pans.

Step: 3

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 to 45 minutes.

The best flavour of the flour could make a real deal to your bread. Different makers do vary. Extra-strong or Canadian flours, which are bet higher in gluten, may give you a best rise than standard dough flours – especially if you’re make wholemeal dough , which doesn’t always rise as well as white bread.

To make this in a dough , add all the ingredients to your breadmaker and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

A dough’s first rising can be done in the fridge overnight . This slows down the time it takes to rise to double its size, giving it a deeper flavour. It’s also a great timesaver , as you can work it yesterday , then clear it off the next day.
