Winter is the season of comfort foods. From soups to stews and other hearty dishes, the colder months are the perfect time to dive into a delicious, warm meal. Regardless of which dish you’re having, there’s no better side than a slice of bread—and no, we’re not talking store-bought loaves. Fresh from the oven, toasty, moist, and warm, quick breads are ideal for rounding out your meal with a delicious bite.

Simplicity is the key element that makes quick breads so beloved. Unlike traditional styles, these loaves don’t require yeast or the time it takes for the dough to rise. Instead, they use a handful of wet and dry ingredients to form a balanced mixture for baking. Even better? Most of the necessary ingredients are items you probably already have stocked in your kitchen, such as eggs, milk, butter, and flour.

Quick breads are easy to make, but don’t think for a second that they’re one note. There are many different kinds of quick breads, including sweet and savory options. You’re probably familiar with go-to recipes like banana bread (a winner for weekday breakfasts and brunches), but there are plenty of other mouthwatering recipes to choose from. With the right ingredients, you can have a slew of delicious breads in no time at all.

Ahead, we’ve gathered five quick bread recipes to keep on hand this winter. From classic to herbaceous, there’s something for everyone.
