Still scared of making your own bread?No worries! With this easy 1 hour start to finish dinner bread you can enjoy a warm-out-of-the-oven bread anytime you want.
Some may say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but in our house dinner is the most important meal of the day. It’s the time of the day we’re all together, taking the time to enjoy a home cooked meal, talking about our days and making future plans.
I always try to have dinner ready by 5.30 ish so we can have some family time shortly after before we have to put our little lady bug to bed. Some days everything goes just as planned, some … let’s just say I’m still lacking organizing skills.
Few days ago that’s exactly what happened. Dinner time was fast approaching and we were out of bread. Nodinner rollsorsliced breadin the freezer to come to the rescue. I needed to find a solution, fast!
A yeast free bread was the solution. An easy quick bread which only takes about 1 hour to have it done. Dinner bread was back on the menu!
This easy dinner bread, literally takes 1 hour to make, start to finish. Around 10 minutes of prep and 50 minutes to bake! On top of that, I kept in mind most of us new year’s resolution.
I’ve also used white whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour, which gave the bread a nutty flavor. To keep the bread moist I added 1 cup of greek yogurt.
This quick dinner bread is moist, nutty and pairs well with lots of dinner meals.

Can you substitute olive oil for the butter?

Roxana says
Hi Melanie, Olive oil will not work to replace butter in this recipe. Roxana

marissah says
roxanna if one uses olive oil and a tablespoon more flour it should work....if not can you explain why thanks
Reply
Roxana says
Hi Marissah, I would suggest using butter if you don't have I can't believe it's not butter. Olive oil, although in some recipe might work, in this use will not since the butter is not melted, but used in a solid form.

Hey Roxana,You actually CAN substitute olive oil for butter (as a rule) in baked goods even when it's not liquid butter. Bakers and pastry chefs do this all the time. The only time this would really make a difference is if the recipe required you to cream butter and sugar together since the olive oil won't cream the way that solid fats do. The primary reason that we use room temperature butter in baking recipes and not melted butter is only to try to regulate the temperature of the batter when it goes in the oven (so that it's room temperature and not warm going into the hot oven). When you're just tossing all the ingredients in a bowl and mixing them together (as you are here), it doesn't really matter if the fat is liquid or solid (as long as it's room temperature). Fat is fat, at the end of the day.Marissah - You CAN use olive oil instead of butter (even unmelted). You might just want to use slightly less olive oil than the amount of butter called for. The website The Kitchn has a helpful article on this. You shouldn't have to add any extra flour unless it seems particularly wet.

Can we use REAL butter in this recipe? I won't use "spreads" or margarine at all so wonder if real cream butter will have the same results?

Roxana says
Of course you may

fifi says
if you use real butter.. must it be sweet or can it be salted butter
Roxana says
Hi Fifi, You can use butter, preferably unsalted, but if you use salted, it won't turn out super salty. No worriesRoxana

Fabulous. This looked like a yeast bread that would take hours...love that it is not!

I can only imagine how WONDERFUL your house smelled when this stunning loaf was baking. You had me at one hour. This is a must make!!!!!!

Do you think sour cream would work instead of yogurt? I nearly always have sour cream in the fridge but not yogurt. I sometime see the reverse substitution. so am thinking it might.

Hi Nana, You can use sour-cream instead of the yogurt. I always have yogurt in the fridge :) Roxana

Thanks for your prompt response. I will give this a try. It is cold and snowy here so it is always a good idea to have a backup to not being able to get to the grocery store.

Hi,Can I use any other flour-like whole wheat , or white mixed with a little cornmeal?
Reply
Roxana says
Hi Diana, I would suggest using half all purpose flour and half whole wheat. If you're planning on using cornmeal, I would not add more than 1/4 cup and the rest all purpose flour.

Van Nguyen says

Do you have to put sesame seeds in the bread mixture? (I have a problem with seeds, unfortunately). I'd really love to try this since I'm close to 70 and love homemade bread but don't like to have to bother with yeast!

Hi Beverly, You don't have to add the sesame seeds to the bread batter if you don't want to. Roxana

I have just started baking and this seemed like an easy, delicious recipe:) I made it and it tasted awesome.But... The bread had risen well in the oven.I left it in for 2 mins or so after it was done and then took it out and left it on a rack to cool.The center slightly dipped as it started to cool.Sigh.Do you have any idea why that happened? I mixed the batter using a hand mixer.
Reply
Roxana says
Hi JS, I can't tell you exactly what happened, but I can give you an idea of what might have happened. My first guess is that you didn't bake the bread long enough. usually quick bread get a crack along the top. That is the sign of a good loaf and is caused by steam escaping during baking. Another cause might be over mixing the batter. Last may have something to do with the oven temperature or the way you measured the ingredients.

JS says
Thank you for your response.:) My bread didn't have any cracks at the top.Hmm..That's probably it, then. I tested my oven temperature using an oven thermometer as mentioned in your baking tutorials(That was a huge help.Can't thank you enough for those tutorials). I set the temperature accordingly. Will pay attention to the other factors and see..Thanks again!

Does the.crust come out hard?
Reply
Roxana says
Hi Kay, The crust will be not hard, nor soft. It's not as soft as a quick sweet bread or hard as a crusty yeast bread, it's in between.

Is the texture of this bread sturdy enough to slice & use as sandwich bread or is too crumbly? can it be frozen without a negative affect on the texture once baked then defrosted as needed? what changes would I have to make to the ingredient amounts to fit a 9 by 5 loaf pan, so I would get sandwich size slices? would adding 2 tbsp. of ground flax instead of the sesame seeds have a neg affect on the bread texture? would adding vital gluten to this recipehelp to get a spongier, fluffier bread guaranteed for an excellent rise, if yes than how much would I add for one 9by 5 loaf ?
Reply
Roxana says
Hi Monica, The bread is sturdy enough to slice and make sandwiches, but it also depends on how much you put in the sandwich :) Also, keep in mind this is a quick bread, not a yeast bread (a better choice for sandwiches) I do not know what changes to make to the recipe to fit into a 9X5 loaf pan. I would actually have to give that a try before advising you.As for the addition of ground flax seeds, sure thing! It will give the bread a nuttier taste since the flaxseeds have a stronger flavor than sesame seeds. Vital gluten - a little goes a long way, but I only have used it in yeast bread recipes, not in a quick bread recipe :)Please come back and let us know if you make this bread and what changes you did to it. Thanks, Roxana

Roxana,I am not a cook. In fact I could probably qualify as one of the Worst Cooks in America contestants on the Food Network but someone gave me a stand mixer for Christmas and I decided to make your bread because it looked like the easiest of any I found online. I have never made bread before, In fact, I have never even made a cake before but you said only 10 minutes to prepare and that I could not resist trying.Well, I didn't have the right kind of flour so just used white flour and I used butter, had some Greek yogurt and most of the other stuff. Well, no milk but figured Half and Half was close enough and of course I didn't have glass or enamel loaf pans so divided it up and put it into 2 tiny metal loaf pans I had and you know what?It came out absolutely delicious and looked just like your picture only smaller except for the one I put in the back of the toaster oven I cooked it in, that one was a little too brown but still good. Oh yea, cooked them in a toaster oven too. So thank you so much. Seems like if I can make a good loaf of bread with your recipe, it is pretty much fool proof.
