Beer Bread


(why did I just type the title as "beer bears", then "beer beard"?  I must have my boyfriends on my mind!)

this is for all my boyfriends who like to cook!  try this bread toasted for breakfast!

3 cups all-purpose flour
4 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons salt
½ cup sugar
12 oz. room temperature (warm) beer; beer MUST be warm or the recipe will not work!
¼ cup cold milk

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Spray a 9 x 5 loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Measure the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar into a mixing bowl.

Add the beer and milk to the dry ingredients and mix very well (batter will be thick).

Transfer the batter from the mixing bowl to the loaf pan.

Bake for 45-60 minutes (depending on your oven) until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.

Turn out bread from loaf pan onto a wire rack.

Let bread cool on wire rack for several hours before slicing.

  3. I once had a Beer Bread recipe for Bread Machine, but I can't find it anymore. I'm going to give this one a try. Space is limited, so I hope it will work with a hand mixer.

    Cheers!
