Fast bread is a straightforward recipe for a bread that doesn’t require yeast. In contrast to my Grandmother’s scrumptious Italian Bread, a fast bread wants leaveners equivalent to baking soda and baking powder for it to rise.
There’s no kneading or proof time required, and so they sometimes take much less time to make than a bread recipe that does require yeast although they could have to bake for about an hour.
