Beer Bread

Ingredients:

3 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons turbinado sugar
2 (12-ounce) bottles of Rahr & Sons Blonde Lager.

  1. Preheat oven to 375*F (190*C). Lightly grease 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan with vegetable shortening.
  2. Set aside one bottle of Rahr & Sons Blonde Lager. Combine remaining ingredients, mixing well with hands.
  3. Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake for 1 hour. Loaf should make a hollow sound when tapped.
  4. After placing bread in the oven, open the remaining bottle of Rahr & Sons Blonde Lager and enjoy while waiting for the bread to bake!

Makes 1 loaf.

Variation ideas:

  1. Add 1/2 cup freshly chopped chives, basil or green chiles to dough.
  2. Add 1 cup grated Red Leicester or sharp cheddar cheese to dough.
  3. Use muffin tins to make individual servings. The crust is the best part of this bread. Decrease cooking time according to your oven’s temperament.
  4. Add ¼ cup orange marmalade and 1 teaspoon freeze-dried chives to dough for a nifty holiday snack loaf. Serve toasted with a slice of Edam cheese for an easy and impressive breakfast.
