I haven't seen this recipe here and I thought I would pass it on after I made a loaf with a shiner black lager last night to go with our beef stew. I got it from Cathouse Willy on the Bradley Forum but I don't know where it came from originally. Changing the type of beer used will change the flavor of the bread, I haven't found a type or flavor of beer that didn't make a good loaf.
Cathouse Willy Beer Bread Recipe
Beer bread, this is not yeast bread, but it's quick and very tasty.
Ingredients:
Servings:
6-8
3 cups flour (sifted)
3 teaspoons baking powder (omit if using Self-Rising Flour)
1 teaspoon salt (omit if using Self-Rising Flour)
1/4 cup sugar
1 (12 ounce) can beer
1/2 cup melted butter (1/4 cup will do just fine)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Mix dry ingredients and beer.
3. Pour into a greased loaf pan.
4. Pour melted butter over mixture.
5. Bake 1 hour, remove from pan and cool for at least 15 minutes.
UPDATED NOTES: This recipe makes a very hearty bread with a crunchy, buttery crust. If you prefer a softer crust (like a traditional bread) mix the butter into the batter instead of pouring it over the top.
Mixed with melted butter on top and into the oven
Out of the oven and fixing to get flipped out on a cooling rack
And after I cut a couple of slices for dinner
