quickbread

Biscuit or scone

Quickbread is bread leavened with baking powder or baking soda rather than yeast, allowing it to be mixed and baked immediately without rising time.

Muffins, banana bread, cornbread, and biscuits are quickbreads.

The category contrasts with yeast breads, which require hours to rise: I don't have time for sourdough, so I'm making a quickbread.
