Bread consists minimally of flour and water; salt is present in most cases; and usually a leavening agent such as yeast is used. Breads may also contain some amounts of sugar, spices, fruit (such as raisins, pumpkin or bananas), vegetables (like onion or zucchini), nuts, or seeds (such as caraway, sesame or poppy seeds). There are a wide variety of breads,
As the name implies, Quick breads are nearly foolproof, versatile, and oh, so good. We commonly know them as sweetened loaves with fruit or nuts, somewhere between yeast breads and cakes in texture and sweetness. They are leavened with baking powder and baking soda.
Quick breads have less sugar and less fat than cakes.
Because quick breads tend to be drier than cakes, they are often spread with butter, cream cheese, or jam

quick bread is related to cakes. You use baking soda and/or baking powder. As soon as you finish mixing ingredients you can pop it in the oven.
Yeast bread has to sit and "rise" allowing the yeast to grow and form the tiny air pockets.
