Herb Quick Bread

Herb quick bread is one of my favorite sides to make with dinner.  Whether I am serving it with venison stew, roasted garlic potato soup, or chicken noodle soup, it is always great for dipping and munching on.  This week, I decided to make it for dinner to go along with smoked chicken breasts and roasted radishes.  It was such a perfect, cozy meal!

Now to make this bread, you need just 7 simple ingredients and about an hour.  I love that all I really had to do was mix the ingredients together, transferred them to a pan, and placed it in the oven to do it’s thing.  That’s it! It’s not a fussy recipe and it always tastes wonderful.

Common questions about making herb quick bread

What is the difference between yeast breads and quick breads?

A yeast bread is made using yeast as the leavening agent while quick breads rely on baking soda or baking powder to make the bread rise.

Can quick breads be frozen?

Yes.  To freeze a quick bread –

1. Bake the bread and let it fully cool.
2. Tightly wrap in plastic wrap.
3. Wrap it again with either aluminum foil or a freezer safe plastic bag.
4. Place in freezer for up to 6 months.

These instructions will work with an quick bread that you make.

What herbs go well with bread?

You can really experiment with different blends of herbs for this quick bread recipe.  I chose to use dried thyme, rosemary, and oregano but you could add basil, fennel, tarragon, etc.

Should my herbs be fresh or dried?

You can use either! I chose to use dried because that’s what I had on hand but you can substitute in fresh herbs.  I would suggest using less than what the recipe calls for if you choose fresh herbs just because the flavor will be stronger but that’s up to you and your preference.
