Beer Bread

Beer bread is a quick bread, not a yeast bread, that is sooooo easy to make but it does take 45-60 minutes to bake, so it’s not that quick. I’m not a beer drinker but the flavor is mild, depending on your brew. It’s so perfect with a hot winter soup like my multi bean soup I made yesterday.

If you can remember to open it and let it go flat and come to room temperature, I think that’s how it’s supposed to be, but who can remember that?? I do keep beers in the fridge for adding to chili, bean soup (but not my IP version… hmmmm), and beer bread.

Ingredients

• 3 c flour
• 3 t baking powder
• 3 T sugar
• 12 oz beer, flat and room temperature if you think of it in time although I don't think it affects the flavor or anything, and I never think of it in time
• 1/2 c melted butter

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 375 F

2

Grease a 4x9 bread pan

3

Beer: room temp! Flat! Apparently that's to make it easier to measure but hey, use a scale or use a 12 oz can/bottle

4

Mix flour, baking powder, and sugar (you could use self-rising flour, it's flour + baking powder already)

5

Add beer, stir (manually, not with a blender) to mix

6

Put the bread in the pan and pour the melted butter over it

7

Bake 45 - 60 minutes

Notes

The King Arthur Flour recipe adds half the butter to the batter and pours the other half over it. That might be good too.
