Beer Bread Recipe So Good That Even Wrong It Was Tasty

I am still trying different bread recipes here at home, well, because we're bored here.

However, it's getting eaten.

This is a beer bread.  Yes, I used a bottle of Corona to make it.  Not a bad beer, frankly, for an American Style Lager.  I get a case before every hurricane season, and since I drink beer slowly, I'm down to 8 bottles since December.  About one per week.

This beer bread is made with all purpose flour, instead of Self Rising flour.   I made a mistake.  I used Baking SODA instead of Baking POWDER.  Don't make that mistake, however I ended up with a bread that was like a muffin or a cake. 

That odd piece on the side?  I had that about an hour ago and am trying to stop myself from "Spoiling My Dinner".   

Since the result was interesting enough, and we all liked it, the recipe is here. Just make my mistake and you end up with a very soft bread.

If you don't have Self Rising Flour:

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking POWDER
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

No, you don't need that for this recipe here.



Oh well, it will work with PB&J or with French Toast this way. 

This beer bread is a bit on the sweet side, so feel free to reduce the amount of sugar. 

It also was quite buttery, and very soft.  If you tossed some fruit into this it would make some interesting Muffins.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups All Purpose Flour SIFTED.  (It makes it lighter)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 Tablespoons Sugar (Yes, it can be reduced)
• 1 Tablespoon Baking POWDER
• 1/2 cup Butter, Melted
• 1 12 ounce bottle of beer.

Process:

1. Preheat the oven to 375F
2. Grease a bread loaf pan and set aside.
3. Sift 3 cups of flour
4. Add salt, sugar, and baking POWDER to the flour and stir to mix
5. Add butter to the mix and stir it in until it is roughly even
6. Pour the bottle of beer over top of the ingredents and mix until you have a batter
7. The batter will be rather wet.
8. Pour the batter into the greased bread loaf pan.
9. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes and check the loaf for doneness. 
10. I went 50 minutes to get a soft and brown loaf
