Batter breads were very popular in the 1970s because the breads required no kneading. You simply make a wet dough, let it rise, and stir it back down. The second rise is done in a loaf pan so you don’t knead to form the wet dough into a traditional loaf. This recipe for apple cinnamon batter bread makes one delicious loaf that can be served for breakfast or with dinner.
