A basic quick bread recipe is always nifty to have up your recipe book sleeve. This quick bread recipe is a no=yeast recipe, using self-raising flour. You can whip up a fresh loaf of quick bread in under an hour, with only 35 minutes of cooking time and very little effort. Serve as you like, we love it straight out the oven with a dollop of butter that melts in. It’s also a perfect homemade bread to serve with soup.
If you don’t have self-raising flour at home, you can make your own using all-purpose flour and Baking Powder. 1 Cup Self-Raising flour = 1 Cup (125g) all-purpose flour + 1½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt.
An alternative to this quick bread is beer bread or soda bread (when you cannot get hold of beer). It’s a one-bowl recipe all made by hand with a few simple everyday ingredients. It is the easiest bread you’ll ever make, just simply mix and bake!
If you want to make this dough in advance, you can. Tightly wrap the dough with plastic wrap. The dough will last 3 days refrigerated or 1 month frozen. So double up on the recipe and have it ready for whenever you need some dinner rolls.
When you need to use the dough, allow it slowly warm up on the counter to room temperature, still wrapped, before using it.
