Chemical Leavening Agents• Quick breads are made with chemical leavening
agents, principally baking soda and baking powder.• Breads made with yeast require additional time for
fermentation and proofing.• Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is an alkaline
compound.• Since baking soda starts leavening immediately, goods
must be baked at once.
