My Beer Bread Recipe

Actually I think I found this recipe on the net somewhere, I think maybe a pagan site.
It just started raining, and has been cool today. This weather makes me want comfort food like this. So much for cutting down on carbs {sigh}.
This recipe is excellent. I used Mich-Ultra for the beer. The loaf rose very high, turned out great in a pyrex loaf dish. It was a bit sweet the last time I made it, so I may cut down on sugar just a little. (we had it with spaghetti the last time, so maybe that's why) Hot fresh bread and soup tonight, yumm!




Beer Bread


Stir three cups self-rising flour, one third cup sugar and one 12 oz. can of beer into a big sticky lump. Grease a loaf pan with spray shortening or rub solid shortening, oil or butter around with a folded paper towel. Deposit dough, bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Pour on as much of a stick of melted butter that will run over the top and down the sides without overflowing; bake 15 minutes longer. Let it sit in the pan for at least 10 minutes to soak up all the butter before serving. You will need more than one loaf for more than four or five people.

Wow, the recipe I'm going to be using calls for 2 2/3 cups of self-rising flour and 1 12 oz can beer, but no sugar. It says to mix and pour into greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes. The result is a cross between biscuits and bread. I can't wait to try it with the soup I'm making this week.

Mmmm leftover bread with butter and jam for breakfast. Divine.

Hey Gypsy, I wondered if the sugar was a necessary ingredient to make the bread rise. Let me know how yours turns out.
Our bread was just tad less sweet this time, but still yummy. I also left off all of that butter on the top, and just ran a bit of earth balance margarine over the top when it came out of the oven. I just let it bake for the whole hour, mostly because I saw a dog running loose down the middle of our busy street and I ran out to try and grab it before it got hit. It was a fast runner and got away. Hope it didn't get hit.

Hey Rose, please thank your hubby for me and my family, for all that he did to help in NO.

Ladies, enjoy your day. I believe I will be heading to the market with my little red wagon, to pick up ingredients for a big homemade pot of clam chowder.
