Just Me : Beer Bread

Last summer we had some beer bread at a friends house and when I asked for the recipe I found out that it came out of a box :( so I went on a search for a recipe because I have no one to buy a tastefully simple beer bread mix from..

This is what I came up with..

1 (12 fl oz) can or bottle of beer

3 cups self rising flour

3 tablespoons white sugar

1/4 cup melted butter

We never have self rising flour so I just make my own

add to this 1 tablespoon of baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt.

Mix all your dry ingredients

(flour sugar and baking powder/salt to make own self rising flour)

Then pour the beer in and mix until all the flower is wet you want all the lumps to stay in the batter so DO NOT beat it till its smooth.

Poor batter into a greased bread pan and then let it sit for 30 minutes this will make the bread lighter and not so heavy. Then poor the melted butter on top before you put it in the oven.

You want to bake this at 350 for 55 to 60 minutes depended on elevation.

When I made this on Friday I believe I only cooked it for 45 minutes and it was done.

Tony constantly asks me to make this for him. I have used a wide range of beer in it from Coors original to blue moon. It just gives the beer more of a hoppy taste if you use a darker beer. I do know though do not use corona in it some of the reviews I read people had used it and it gave the bread no flavor. You can add cheese into this batter with jalapenos as well as putting garlic on top while it is baking.

I hope if you try this you enjoy it!!
