BEER BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Mix dry ingredients and beer.
• Pour into a greased loaf pan.
• Pour melted butter over mixture.
• 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.
• Sifting flour for bread recipes is a must-do. Most people just scoop the 1 cup measure in the flour canister and level it off. That compacts the flour and will turn your bread into a "hard biscuit" as some have described. That's because they aren't sifting their flour! If you do not have a sifter, use a spoon to spoon the flour into the 1 cup measure. Try it once the "correct" way and you will see an amazing difference in the end product.
• I have had many email from you kind folks about using non-alcoholic beverages instead of beer. That is fine to do but I highly recommend adding a packet of Dry Active Yeast or 2 teaspoons of Bread (Machine) Yeast so that you get a proper rise.
• The final result should be a thick, hearty and very tasteful bread, NOT A BRICK! ;).
• Thank you all for the incredibly nice comments and those of you who left a bad review - learn to sift sift SIFT! You will be amazed at the results you get.

• Add the beer all at once, and mix by hand until just combined.

• Good Luck!
• This stuff can be real gooey; smooth it out as best you can, and slam the pan down on the counter two or three times to smooth out the batter.
• Bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• The recipe also says that the top should be light golden, but do not count on this.
• After cooking, this bread may still look kind of anemic, real pale, kinda raw!
• Especially if you are using a light colored beer!
• BUT, if the toothpick says it's done, it's really done!
• Turn out onto a rack to cool.
• Eat it as soon as it is cool enough to touch, or let it cool to room temperature and wrap to eat a little later, or wrap real good and freeze for up to a month.
• If refrigerated or frozen, bring to room temperature or warm before serving.
• It's great fresh from the oven, and it makes wonderful toast.
• Notes& Comments:.
• *This recipe makes an extremely dense, heavy bread with a crunchy crust.
• It's great!
• I like it as is!
• But, as noted above, it does look a little anemic.
• *You might want to replace up to half of the white flour with whole-wheat flour to darken the loaf.
• Also, a darker beer will make a darker loaf.
• Works great with Guinness!
• *You might also want to experiment with other beers, for different flavors and different degrees of richness.
• Obviously, the only ingredient in this recipe that will change the overall flavor is the beer.
• Enjoy!
• *We have also doubled the recipe, using 1 bottle of Guinness and 1 bottle of Bass, with 4 cups unbleached flour and 2 cup whole wheat flour; obviously this makes 2 loaves.
