Beer Bread

Beer Bread

We all love this beer bread. I found the recipe on food.com, posted by Gerald Norman. I use less butter than the original 1/2 cup and substitute olive oil if I'm making it for the little guy. So simple and delicious. My favorite beer to add is Spotted Cow from the New Glarus Brewing Co.

Beer Bread
3 cups sifted all purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
12 oz. beer
1/4 cup melted butter or olive oil

• Preheat oven to 375*
• Grease a loaf pan.
• Put dry ingredients into a bowl and mix with a whisk.
• Stir in the beer.
• Spread in the loaf pan.
• Pour melted butter over the mixture.
• Bake one hour.
• Immediately remove from the pan.
• Let cool at least 15 minutes before cutting.

Notes: This makes a great gift as a mix. Put the dry ingredients into a quart jar. Give the jar along with directions and a bottle (or six pack) of beer.
