Introduction

There are a few recipes for Beer Bread out there, but none as simple (and tasty!) as this one. You can even mix it in the baking pan for easy clean up. This is sensational when served with soups or just as a snack, but don't expect it to be around very long when your family gets a taste of it!

Ingredients

    3 cups flour (sifted)
    3 teaspoons baking powder (omit if using Self-Rising Flour)
    1 teaspoon salt (omit if using Self-Rising Flour)
    1/4 cup sugar
    1 (12 ounce) can beer
    1/2 cup melted butter (1/4 cup will do just fine)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Mix dry ingredients and beer.
3. Pour into a greased loaf pan.
4. Pour melted butter over mixture.
5. Bake 1 hour, remove from pan and cool for at least 15 minutes.

NOTES: Sifting flour for bread recipes is a must-do. Most people just scoop the 1 cup measure in the flour canister and level it off. That compacts the flour and will turn your bread into a "hard biscuit" as some have described. That's because they aren't sifting their flour! If you do not have a sifter, use a spoon to spoon the flour into the 1 cup measure. Try it once the "correct" way and you will see an amazing difference in the end product.

For non-alcoholic beer, adding a packet of Dry Active Yeast or 2 teaspoons of Bread (Machine) Yeast so that you get a proper rise.

The final result should be a thick, hearty and very tasteful bread, NOT A BRICK! ;).

    I have to make mine with GF 1to 1 flour. It only uses 2.5 cups of flour with this. Still is delicious. Would like to find the calorie count for it made this way..sure that it is higher - 5/17/21
