A couple months ago I ran across a recipe for beer bread and I have now had 2 successful baking experiences with this recipe. I grew up on beer bread and my mom has used the same recipe for years. Now that I am older and pursuing my baking career, I thought it was time to challenge her bread. This is the recipe I used: (I tweeked one I found online)
(Yield: 1 loaf)
1/3 cup of sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp salt
12 oz beer (1 beer)
*¼ cup melted butter (make sure it is completely melted so it can soak into the breads crust and doesn't just float on top)
Method
-Combine dry ingredients and mix well. Add beer and mix until homogenous.
-Pour into parchment lined or sprayed loaf pan and bake.
-Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius for 40 minutes, then pour *melted butter over loaf and bake ten more minutes.
-Use different types of beer
I made this bread with the intention to pair it with Jambalaya, but my family ended up eating steak and grilled veggies that night. It still proved to be a great side and people seemed to be pretty impressed with the obvious beer flavor :)
P.S. My bread puts my mom's to shame, but let's keep that on the DL.
