Beer Bread
It was cold today. I came home and built a fire. Tonight's dinner just called for something warm and homey. Actually, it started at school. Tomorrow is the last day before school gets out for Spring/Easter break, so we cleaned out the frig and made a big lunch with all the goodies we had on hand. Aside from working with Severely Handicapped kids on a daily basis, that's one of the greatest things we've got going in our class. We have a full kitchen, and we often have yummy things to eat for the staff and kids. Well, anyway, I brought home leftovers for dinner, made a quick salad, and threw together this bread. Voila! Dinner! I just love quickie things like this. Especially when I have other, more pressing things to be doing. Like warming my chair (next to the wood stove) while knitting. This beer bread recipe is probably the easiest, most awesomest recipe I have. Here it is. Let me know if you try it!
Beer Bread
3 cups self rising flour
3 Tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 12 oz. can beer
Stir everything together in a bowl. Grease a 9"x5" loaf pan. Pour bread dough into pan. Place in a cold oven, turn oven on to 350, bake for 40-45 minutes. Take out of the pan and let cool for a few minutes before slicing. I have an electric knife, and I'm able to cut it while it's still hot without tearing it up. Either way, it's really good!
It looks so yummy! Guess I have to try this one too! I asume the beer should be room temperated?
ReplyDeleteOh yum!
ReplyDeleteAstrid, I've used beer both cold and room temperature. They both work, but the original recipe was for room temp. beer. Also, I have found that any soda or bubbly drink can be used. I have tried lemon-lime soda, and it makes the bread a little sweeter.
ReplyDeleteBecca, Yes, it's yummy!
Hey when do you head out with Nedra?
