Beer Bread

Today I'm writing about another memorable recipe. In college a friend introduced me to beer bread. It is quick and simple to make, and it is delicious! I was a little skeptical at first because at the time I didn't like beer, but from the first bite I was hooked. Most of the time when we made beer bread there was a small group hanging out and was ate as snack. Now I prefer to eat it with some type of meal, like a beef stew or chili. I suggest you try this recipe at least once and try it a few times using different types of beer. Experiment! Find what you like best...or not at all! Happy baking!

Ingredients


3 c. self-rising flour
3 Tbsp. sugar
12 oz. beer
2-4 Tbsp. butter, melted

*Note: You can use all-purpose flour instead of self-rising, BUT you would need to add 4 Tbsp. active dry yeast.*




Directions


1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Stir together the flour and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Then add the beer and mix well.

2. Spray a bread loaf pan with cooking spray and pour the batter into the pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

3. Drizzle melted butter over top the warm bread. Cool loaf on a wire rack.
