Back when I ran a bakery in Berkeley, quick breads (or tea loaves, as I call them) were a daily staple, sold by the slice or the loaf. During the holidays, we would make them in miniature loaves, and they flew out the door. I think it was the charm of their diminutive size that made them so popular.

让迷你面包在家中很容易，要么可以作为送送客人服务，要么包裹并作为礼物。它们的娇小尺寸使它们感觉像是一种特殊的享受，尤其是如果您用巧克力，蔓越莓，南瓜和香料等丰富而香的食材包装它们。betway电子竞技俱乐部这些面包在室温下保持湿润和美味的几天，冷冻后几乎没有质量。根据您使用的大小锅，每个食谱都可以制作多达四个面包，因此您只需几次烘焙课程就可以照顾好礼物清单。

用迷你面包盘烘烤

微型面包盘的尺寸差异很大。所有这些食谱均以17至18液盎司量的平底锅进行测试。因为大多数面包盘没有列出它们的音量，所以您通常必须自己进行计算。通过将锅填充到内侧边缘，然后将水倒入一个大型Pyrex量杯中。我们对迷你面包盘的最佳选择是芝加哥金属专业迷你面包盘，它的尺寸为5-3/4 x 3-1/4 x 2-1/4英寸（可通过Kitchenkapers.com）和Hefty EZ Foil Loaf Pan，尺寸为5-3/4 x 3-1/4 x 2英寸（大多数超市可用）。
Once you decide on a pan size, look for shiny, light metal pans—dark pans made the edges of these breads too brown and dry in our tests. Nonstick pans worked well, but should still be oiled and floured to ensure easy release. If using the mini foil pans, place them on a baking sheet before filling with batter, to support the bottoms.

Quick breads come together fast, but how you mix the ingredients has a huge effect on the texture and structure of the finished loaf. Many quick breads can be heavy and dense, which is often the result of using oil as the fat and undermixing the batter. It may be nontraditional, but I use butter in my quick breads, which lends a richer flavor. This also lets me steal a page from cake makers and use the creaming method in mixing my quick bread, for a tender, cake-like loaf that is still sturdy enough to pack and travel well.

Don’t over fill

如果您使用与我们建议的尺寸不同的锅，请务必将其填充不超过三分之二。这可能会让您剩下的面糊，您可以丢弃或用来制作松饼。过度填充会导致面糊在侧面溢出，或者导致成品面包中的隧道。或者可能导致不平衡的上升。填充后会导致一个较小的面包往往会有些干燥，因为潮湿的内蛋糕与边缘的比率较小。

奶油方法涉及将黄油打成苍白而柔软，然后加入糖并跳动直至蓬松。这将空气融入面糊中，是光，而不是铅，快速面包的秘密。面糊蓬松后，一次加入一个鸡蛋，然后与酪乳交替加入干成分。betway电子竞技俱乐部紧凑的关键（但不太密集）是在击败黄油和糖以掺入空气，但在将面粉和液体混合后不会过度混合。

我借鉴了本季节的口味，以创建您想分享的面包，无论是通过切片来访问客人还是作为礼物。所有这些在室温下保持三到五天或在冰箱中持续一周。如果将它们包裹在塑料中，则可以将它们冻结长达六个星期，这样您就可以在假日混乱开始之前烘烤它们。
