Morphology
The compound 'quick bread' is transparently composed from 'quick' (done in a short time) + 'bread' (baked food), so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to bread that is quick to make (using fast leavening). This modifier+noun pattern is a straightforward compositional construction common across languages and does not require idiomatic knowledge.
Etymology
Quick bread gets its name from quick meaning fast and because the bread is made with baking powder or baking soda, a powder that makes the dough 'rise' quickly so it can be 'baked' right away. That's why the phrase means a type of bread you can make fast without waiting.
