Beer bread

[Bill Rogue V.]

One of life's simplest pleasures:
3 cups self-rising flour
3 tablespoons sugar
pinch of salt
12 ounces of room-temp beer or near beer
Stir until just mixed and turn into a greased loaf pan.
Melt 2 tbsp butter and drizzle over top. Cover and let rise just five minutes.
Bake 45-50 minutes at 375.
It's just that simple.

I'll have to try that!

We have used this recipe for along time and like it we even use it for homemade pizza crust

[Wacenturion]

Going to give it a try this afternoon. I'm assuming the recipe is for one loaf? Double if you want two, and so on?

[Bill Rogue V.]

Wa: Yep, one loaf. How did it turn out?

[Wacenturion]

Family liked it, but I'm not sure I did. Pretty yeasty taste and on the heavy side if I did it right. Guess I'm more a soft chewy type bread lover. Was fun though.

[Bill Rogue V.]

WA: I think the fun of it is how easy it is to whip up, and any hot bread right out of the oven with butter on it tastes great. I would agree though that it is a wee bit short in the flavor department. I like it for dipping into a bowl of homemade chili or chicken soup. Also good as French toast the next morning.

We have a recipe that came from an Apastolic cookbook that is also simple, yet is a little less "yeasty". I think it is due to more sugar covering it up.

1 can beer
1 egg
1/4 cup sugar
3 c. self rising flour.

Bake 325 for 45 min.

So which beers have everyone tried so far,

I have done several with Angry Orchard Crisp Apple and it is delicious along with Ebenezer. My first loaf I used Witchcraft and it tasted good to me but wasn't a big hit with the family because of the high IBU's in the beer.

I have also stirred in green chiles and sharp cheddar which makes for some good eats.

awesome recipe, my cousin made some of this on a recent family vacation and i had to get it from her, easy easy easy!

Did another batch with sprite instead of beer. The kids liked that flavor better.

Hmm, kind of citrusy? Bet it would be great with orange marmalade!
