Bread & Muffin Baking FAQ
What’s the difference between bread and muffins?
Traditional breads are usually made with yeast or baking powder and often require kneading or rising, while muffins are quick breads mixed in one bowl and baked right away. Muffins tend to be sweeter and softer, making them popular for breakfast or snacks.
What are quick breads?
Quick breads are baked goods that use baking powder or baking soda instead of yeast. Popular examples include banana bread, pumpkin bread, and zucchini bread. They’re called “quick” because they don’t need rising time.
How do I keep homemade bread and muffins fresh?
Store breads and muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days. For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
Can I substitute whole wheat flour in these recipes?
Yes. You can usually replace up to half of the white flour with whole wheat flour. For best results, add a tablespoon or two of extra liquid to keep baked goods moist.
Why do my muffins turn out dry?
Dry muffins are often caused by overmixing the batter or baking too long. Stir ingredients just until combined and remove muffins from the oven as soon as a toothpick comes out clean.
