Time 55m

Yield 1 Loaf, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups self rising flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup brown sugar (Sweet option -- add'l 1/3 C. Brown Sugar)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (12 ounce) bottle beer
1/4 cup butter (melted)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder (Herb option)
3/4 teaspoon italian seasoning (Herb option)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and lightly grease bread pans.
Mix all dry ingredients. (For dark or sweeter beers [ex: a stout, or cherry wheat beer] add extra Brown Sugar. For a mid-range or hoppy beer [ex: a Yuengling, or an IPA] add Onion Power and Italian Seasoning).
Add beer to dry ingredients and mix until moistened through. (Dough will be sticky. Do not try to kneed it like a traditional bread dough).
Transfer dough to bread pan and top with melted butter.
Bake 45-60 minutes (depending on oven); until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Holiday Gift Suggestion: Layer each dry ingredient in a Mason Jar. Add decorative fabric over the lid/under the jar ring. The gift tag includes baking directions, " -- Just add your favorite beer!" (or make a gift basket that includes an interesting beer to go in it).

Tips:

Beer selection: Use a flavorful beer that you enjoy drinking. Dark beers will produce a darker, richer bread, while light beers will produce a lighter, milder bread. Mixing: Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough, dense bread. Stir just until the ingredients are combined. Baking: Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the bread rises evenly and browns properly. Cooling: Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Beer bread is a quick and easy bread to make that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover beer, and it can be made in a variety of flavors. With the right ingredients and a little bit of know-how, you can make a delicious and satisfying beer bread that everyone will enjoy.
