Quick breads, muffins and biscuits are the easiest way into baking bread: no yeast, no kneading and usually under an hour from bowl to cooling rack. Mix them only until the flour disappears; overmixing is what makes them tough and tunneled.

Quick breads are done when a skewer in the center comes out clean and the top springs back. Yeast rolls are done when they're deep golden and reach about 190°F inside.
