Beer Bread

No yeast (aside from a can of beer), no kneading, no waiting! Makes a golden, textured crust, easy to customize with herbs, cheese, veggies or meats.

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Tablespoon baking powder
• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• 4 Tablespoons sugar
• 12 ounces beer, any kind
• 3 tablespoons butter

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Sift well with fork.

Pour in beer, stir until a stiff batter is formed, but don’t over mix (best to just use your hands).

Scrape dough into prepared loaf pan.

Melt butter and brush across top of dough.

Bake for about 40 or so minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. (Bake time may vary with beer type.)
