Quick bread loaves or Tea loaves are fast and easy to make, hence the name 'quick bread'. The ingredients, method of mixing, and baking technique are similar to those used for muffins. Quick-bread loaves are mixed with the Muffin Method or the Creaming Method, depending on the type of recipe. They are leavened with baking powder and / or baking soda, instead of yeast, used for yeast bread recipes. Their thick batters can be made in multiple variations by adding nuts, fruits, cereals, and other flours. They are mostly baked in a loaf-like shape, the standard being 9 x 5-inches, and develop a characteristic crack down the middle during baking. Most recipes can also be baked as mini-loaves or as muffins.
SARAH SAYS: Quick breads are not always baked in loaf pans. For example, corn bread and Irish soda bread are baked in shallow pans, spoon breads in casserole dishes or layer cake pans, Sally Lunn bread in a tube pan, and Boston brown bread may be baked in loaves or steamed in covered cans or special molds.
| Appearance | Even contour, no “lip” at upper edge of loaf Rounded top May have a center crack Evenly browned top and bottom crust Uniform crumb color Well-distributed nuts and fruit |
| Texture | Relatively fine crumb Uniform grain Free of large tunnels Moist Not mealy or crumbly |
| Tenderness | Crisp, tender crust Firm but delicate crumb |
| Flavor | Pleasant Characteristic of the variety of loaf bread |
Chop, shred or mash fruits, vegetables or nuts before you start making the batter. If you start the batter and then stop to chop, the moistened leaveners will continue to release carbon dioxide gas, and will have less leavening power left for baking. Hold back on using up extra amounts of fruits or vegetables; the extras can make a heavy, damp loaf that sometimes won't bake in the middle.
As with any baking recipe, start checking for doneness about 10 minutes before the baking time is up.
SARAH SAYS: If you find that your bread is beginning to brown too fast in the oven, cover it with a tent of aluminum foil. It doesn't matter which side is showing.
When you remove the pan from the oven, let it sit for 10 minutes and then unmold to a wire cake rack. If meant to be eaten from the pan, leave as is and let cool. The bread should still be quite warm when you remove it from its pan. Sometimes the bread sticks to the pan and you can't get it out. If it does, hold the pan upright and give it a couple of sharp, downward jerks, then try again. If it's really obstinate, loosen the bread by sliding a table knife around the edge of the loaf, in the fine hairline crack between the bread and the pan.
Cool quick breads completely before slicing; cutting while warm is one of the chief reasons for crumbling. Even better, store them tightly covered at room temperature for 24 hours for easier cutting. Cut with a sharp, thin-bladed knife, using a light sawing motion. Or, after cooling, wrap loaves tightly and store them in the fridge for up to a week or freeze up to 3 months.
QUESTION: I baked a banana bread...stuck in the tester...it came out clean...took the bread out...came back later to cut it...it was completely raw in the center...What happened? And how might I prevent this in the future? Thanks.
SARAH SAYS: It may be that you just placed the tester in an area that was cooked, or even a piece of banana, so it didn't show the raw batter. To check a quick-bread loaf for doneness, I always use the poke method as well and I press on the surface of the bread and peek inside the cracks. The cracks should have no moisture beads, and if you press the top it should be firm and not bounce back like a cake. Then test with the toothpick in two different places, especially if your recipe has anything with chunks that will give you a false reading.
QUESTION: Can I make muffins from my quick-bread recipe? The original recipe calls for a 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 x 2-1/2 pan. You want to make muffins in a standard muffin tin (2-3/4 x 1-1/2)
SARAH SAYS: Yes, but you have to do a few things first: You have to calculate how much your original pan holds so you can figure out how many muffins you can make.
1. You need to convert pan sizes:
A. Any easy way: Fill a large measuring cup with water, taking note of its measurement. Pour water into the pan originally called for in the recipe until it reaches 2/3 from the top, the amount you'd fill that pan with batter; 2/3rds full is typical for quick-bread and muffin recipes. Make note of how much water was used. If it is a two-part pan, fill it with sugar or rice.
B. Or, Another way is it to calculate:
Incremental slitting method, previously called the crack compliance method. This paper focuses on optimizing the number slit depths, which is the number of data points, for the incremental slitting method. Slitting is being developed as an ASTM standard in Task Group E28.13.02. The number of slits. =1 on the inner contour, and on. Q=0 the outer contour. The inner contour can be shrunk all the way down to the crack tip, if desired. The energy release rate can then be calculated from. Sd ∂ ∂ = − ∫ ∂∂ Your goal in this problem is to use this procedure to calculate the crack tip stress intensity. Scrapers tungsten carbide hammerhead & knob blade size 2-1/2 inches with nail set end.

| TYPE | PAN SIZE | VOLUME | FILLED |
| Standard Loaf Pan | 9 x 5 | 4 cups | 2/3 |
| Loaf Pan | 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 | 2 1/4 cups | 2/3 |
| Standard Muffin Tin | 2 3/4 x 1 1/2 | 4 TBSP ea tin | 2/3 |
| Mini Muffin Tin | 1 3/4 across | 1 TBSP ea tin | 3/4 |
Then, calculate:
a. 1 cup holds 16 TBSP
b. Pan: 2-1/4 cups = 36 TBSP (2.25 x 16)
c. Muffin Tin (each one) = 4 TBSP
d. ANSWER: So, the recipe will make: 9 muffins (36/4 TBSPS)
2. Adjust baking times: The oven temperature should stay the same, but the baking times will be shorter. One quick bread loaf, typically takes about 40 to 60 minutes to bake. A dozen standar-size muffins typically take about 20 to 30 minutes. NOTE: If you have multiple pans in the oven at once, baking times will increase.
When making mini-loaves, estimate that the baking time will be 1/4 less than the recipe states for the large loaf. Make sure you stagger the pans in the oven so the hot air can circulate around them.
SARAH SAYS: If the pans are tiny and won't sit flat on the oven shelf, I position mine in a rimmed baking sheet to bake. Make sure you leave 1-inch space between the pans and place in the oven on the middle baking shelf.
| Approx. Pan Volume | Batter Volume | Bake Time @ 350 degrees F per 1 pan |
| 1/3 cup | 1/4 cup | 15 to 20 min |
| 1/2 cup | 1/3 cup | 15 to 20 min |
| 2/3 to 3/4 cup | 1/2 cup | 20 min |
| 1 cup | 3/4 cup | 25 min |

19VAC30-70-210. Glass and glazing.
A. Motor vehicles may be inspected without windshields, side glasses, or any kind of glazing, except that any motor vehicle other than a motorcycle that was manufactured, assembled, or reconstructed after July 1, 1970, must be equipped with a windshield. If glass or other glazing is installed, it must be inspected. If no windshield is installed, see 19VAC30-70-50 C for location of the sticker.
B. Inspect for and reject if:
1. Any motor vehicle manufactured or assembled after January 1, 1936, or any bus, taxicab or school bus manufactured or assembled after January 1, 1935, is not equipped throughout with safety glass, or other safety glazing material. (This requirement includes slide-in campers used on pickups or trucks, caps, or covers used on pickup trucks, motor homes, and vans.)
2. Any safety glass or glazing used in a motor vehicle is not of an approved type and properly identified (refer to approved equipment section). (Replacement safety glass installed in any part of a vehicle other than the windshield need not bear a trademark or name, provided the glass consists of two or more sheets of glass separated by a glazing material, and provided the glass is cut from a piece of approved safety glass, and provided the edge of the glass can be observed.)
NOTE: A number of 1998 and 1999 model year Ford Contour/Mystique, Econoline and Ranger vehicles were produced without the AS-1 windshield marking as required by FMVSS #205. Ford has certified that these vehicles' windshields meet all performance standards and will not be rejected.
3. Any glass at any location where glass is used is cracked or broken so that it is likely to cut or injure a person in the vehicle.
4. Windshield has any cloudiness more than three inches above the bottom, one inch inward from the outer borders, one inch down from the top, or one inch inward from the center strip. The bottom of the windshield shall be defined as the point where the top of the dash contacts the windshield.
5. Any distortion or obstruction that interferes with a driver's vision; any alteration that has been made to a vehicle that obstructs the driver's clear view through the windshield.
a. Any hood scoop installed on any motor vehicle manufactured for the year 1990 or earlier model year cannot exceed 2-1/4 inches high at its highest point measured from the junction of the dashboard and the windshield.
b. Any hood scoop installed on any motor vehicle manufactured for the 1991 or subsequent model year cannot exceed 1-1/8 inches high at its highest point measured from the junction of the dashboard and the windshield.
NOTE: Vehicles up to 10,000 pounds (GVWR) submitted for inspection, with a navigational device, video event recording device, or a crash avoidance camera mounted on the interior of the windshield; when the entire device is outside the area swept by the windshield wipers or any location above the AS-1 line, shall be issued an approval sticker if no other violations are detected.
6. Windshield glass, on the driver's side, has any scratch more than 1/4 inch in width and six inches long within the area covered by the windshield wiper blade, excluding the three inches above the bottom of the windshield. A windshield wiper that remains parked within the driver's side windshield wiper area shall be rejected.
EXCEPTION: Do not reject safety grooves designed to clean wiper blades if the grooves do not extend upward from the bottom of the windshield more than six inches at the highest point.
7. There is a pit, chip, or star crack larger than 1-1/2 inches in diameter at any location in the windshield above the three-inch line at the bottom.
8. At any location in the windshield above the three-inch line at the bottom (as measured from the junction of the dash board and the windshield) there is more than one crack from the same point if at least one of the cracks is more than 1-1/2 inches in length. There is any crack that weakens the windshield so that one piece may be moved in relation to the other. (If there is more than one crack running from a star crack that extends above the three-inch line, the windshield shall be rejected.)
NOTE: Windshield repair is a viable option to windshield replacement. However, the primary focus of windshield repairs is to stop or reduce further damage from roadway adversities, vibrations, ambient temperature changes, and weather. Repairs to minor damage may be made so long as the windshield meets all of the standards set forth in this section.
9. Any sticker is on the windshield other than an official one required by law or permitted by the superintendent. Authorization is hereby granted for stickers or decals, to include those required by any county, town, or city, measuring not more than 2-1/2 inches in width and four inches in length to be placed in the blind spot behind the rear view mirror. The normal location for any required county, town, or city sticker is adjacent to the right side of the official inspection sticker when viewed from inside the vehicle. The top edge of the sticker is to be approximately four inches from the bottom of the windshield. The left side edge adjacent to the official inspection sticker shall not be more than 1/4 inch from the right edge of the official inspection sticker when viewed from inside the vehicle. Valid Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) inspection decals or similar commercial vehicle inspection decal issued by local law enforcement may be placed at the bottom right corner of the windshield when viewed from inside the vehicle. The top edge of such decals are to be approximately four inches from the bottom of the windshield when viewed from inside the vehicle and are to be located outside the area swept by the windshield wipers.
Any sticker or decal required by the laws of any other state or the District of Columbia and displayed upon the windshield of a vehicle submitted for inspection in this state is permitted by the superintendent, provided the vehicle is currently registered in that jurisdiction, and the sticker is displayed in a manner designated by the issuing authority and has not expired. This includes vehicles with dual registration; (i.e., Virginia and the District of Columbia).
NOTE: Toll transponder devices may be affixed to the inside center of the windshield at the roof line just above the rear view mirror. If space does not allow, then the transponder device may be affixed to the immediate right of the mirror at the roof line.
NOTE: A licensed motor vehicle dealer may apply one transponder sticker no larger than one inch by four inches and one barcode sticker no larger than three inches by four inches to the driver's side edge of a vehicle's windshield to be removed upon the sale or lease of the vehicle provided that it does not extend below the AS-1 line. In the absence of an AS-1 line the sticker cannot extend more than three inches downward from the top of the windshield.
NOTE: Any vehicle displaying an expired sticker or decal on its windshield at the time of inspection, excluding a rejection sticker, shall not be issued an approval sticker unless the owner or operator authorizes its removal. A rejection sticker will be issued versus an involuntary removal.
10. Sunshading material words, lettering, numbers or pictures on the windshield that extend below the AS-1 line or three inches downward from the top of the windshield in the absence of an AS-1 line. Sunshading is permitted on the windshield if authorized by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles and indicated on the vehicle registration.
NOTE: Vehicles with permitted sunshading on the windshield must have a cut-out to accommodate the direct application of an approval or rejection sticker to the windshield in the location indicated in 19VAC30-70-50 C or 19VAC30-70-60 E.
NOTE: Vehicles with logos made into the glass at the factory meet federal standards and will pass state inspection.
11. Any sunscreening material is scratched, distorted, wrinkled or obscures or distorts clear vision through the glazing.
12. Front side windows have cloudiness above three inches from the bottom of the glass or other defects that affect the driver's vision or one or more cracks that permit one part of the glass to be moved in relation to another part. Wind silencers, breezes or other ventilator adaptors are not made of clear transparent material.
EXCEPTION: Colored or tinted ventvisors that do not exceed more than two inches from the forward door post into the driver's viewing area are permitted.
13. Glass in the left front door cannot be lowered so a hand signal can be given. (This does not apply to vehicles that were not designed or manufactured for the left front glass to be lowered, provided the vehicle is equipped with approved turn signals.) If either front door has the glass removed and material inserted in place of the glass that could obstruct the driver's vision.
EXCEPTION: Sunscreening material is permissible if the vehicle is equipped with a mirror on each side.
14. Any sticker or other obstruction is on either front side window, rear side windows, or rear windows. (The price label, fuel economy label and the buyer's guide required by federal statute and regulations to be affixed to new or used vehicles by the manufacturer shall normally be affixed to one of the rear side windows.) If a vehicle only has two door windows, the labels may be affixed to one of these windows. If a vehicle does not have any door or side windows the labels may be temporarily affixed to the right side of the windshield until the vehicle is sold to the first purchaser.
NOTE: A single sticker no larger than 20 square inches in area, if such sticker is totally contained within the lower five inches of the glass in the rear window if a vehicle has only one outside mirror, a single sticker or decal no larger than 10 square inches located in an area not more than three inches above the bottom and not more than eight inches from the rearmost edge of either front side window, is permissible and should not be rejected.
A single sticker issued by the Department of Transportation to identify a physically challenged driver, no larger than two inches by two inches, located not more than one inch to the rear of the front door post, or one inch to the rear of the front ventilator glass, if equipped with a ventilator glass and no higher than one inch from the bottom of the window opening, is permitted on the front driver's side window on a vehicle specially equipped for the physically challenged.
15. Rear window is clouded or distorted so that the driver does not have a view 200 feet to the rear.
EXCEPTIONS: The following are permissible if the vehicle is equipped with a mirror on each side:
a. There is attached to one rear window of such motor vehicle one optically grooved clear plastic right angle rear view lens, not exceeding 18 inches in diameter in the case of a circular lens or not exceeding 11 inches by 14 inches in the case of a rectangular lens, which enables the operator of the motor vehicle to view below the line of sight as viewed through the rear window.
b. There is affixed to the rear side windows, rear window, or windows of such motor vehicle any sticker or stickers, regardless of size.
c. There is affixed to the rear side windows, rear window, or windows of such motor vehicle a single layer of sunshading material.
