Naan, pita, tortillas, soda bread, cornbread — all of them come together in under an hour. This page covers the techniques that make each one work. How to roll thin for charred bubbles. How to mix quick bread batter without overdeveloping gluten. These are the breads you make on a weeknight. No starter. No bulk fermentation. Just good bread, fast.
