I have mentioned before that I really want to expand my bread making but the main problem is not having enough time. Â Well I saw this recipe for Beer Bread from My Baking Addiction and had to give it a try. Â Literally, you combine the ingredients and bake for 50 – 55 minutes.
Now, I was skeptical. Â How could the dough rise enough? Â Well, the recipe comes from a woman who’s blog is named My Baking Addiction. Â Who I am to question the result. Â So I jumped in feet first or maybe hands first. Â In any case, the only liquid used is the beer. Â I debated on whether I should serve it to my 17 year old and his friend but figured it was OK since it was cooked and the alcohol supposedly burns off.
But I digress. Â The result was pretty darn good. Â Not sure it is the first recipe I would choose if I had enough time to make bread but in a pinch this was quite good. Â The bread was even better when used in a grilled sandwich the next day but that story is for a later post.
Recipe
Beer Bread:
Ingredients:

- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 12 oz beer (I used Sam Adams Boston Lager as you can see)
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
- In a loaf pan, spray with vegetable oil, set aside
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt and beer, mix well.
- Pour mixture into the loaf pan and bake for 50 – 55 minutes
- 3 minutes before the end of the cooking, melt the butter and brush along the top and finish cooking. Â Enjoy!
My mom used to make beer bread. This recipe took me back! thanks for sharing it on Katies Language Cafe’s weekly link up! ~~Katie
I tried making beer bread a while ago but I didn’t have any self-rising flour. Instead I mixed baking soda (or was it baking powder? Now I forget…) with the flour per a substitution website I saw online but the taste was SO strong and bitter and I hated it. Blech! I will have to try again…
There’s a Cabot cheddar soda bread recipe on King Arthur Flour that similar in texture to beer bread but is AMAZING. Try making that next time!
I love those easy-peazy kinds of recipes. I have a coule of “stir” recipes for bread. You might like this one: http://whatscooking-suddenlysusan.blogspot.com/2011/01/jans-dilly-bread.html
