I can't take any credit for this wondrous stuff, the lovely Stephanie Lieber found this on-line and introduced the Lunch Bunch (more on that later) to the wonder that is... beer bread.
Since then, tens of friends have made this bread hundreds of time. Julie Tippett Simon even dubbed it the "Sell My House" Beer Bread because she baked a loaf and finally (after years of trying) got two offers on her house THAT day! And her daughter's doll is even named "Beer Bread." The stuff is legendary!
It's also fast and infinitely flexible. Try cheddar and chives with Stella, or a nutty dark beer with some Gruyere.
3 c flour
3 t baking powder
1 t salt
1/4 c sugar
12 oz bottle of beer
1/4 cup melted butter (olive oil? vegan spread?)
Preheat oven to 375.
Sift (or not) dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
Pour beer over it and stir. No kneading necessary.
Transfer to a greased loaf pan.
Pour melted butter over the top.
Bake 50 minutes. Cool 15 minutes.
Made this tonight. Awe.some!
ReplyDeleteSo glad! What beer did you use?
ReplyDeleteFat Tire. I had a Stella but didnt have any cheddar. I thought the Fat Tire might give it more flavor.
