Beer Bread Recipe - Save Money Today!

I like saving money even more than I dislike going shopping. Here's a recipe that will save you a trip to the store and it will save you money too. Make this delicious beer bread at home with simple ingredients you likely already have in your pantry. I'm not naming names either, but I think this recipe may be even better than that expensive box you can purchase at those home parties...wink wink...you be the judge!

Ingredients:

2 3/4C flour
1 1/2 t salt
2 T baking powder
1/2C granulated sugar
12 oz beer
2 1/2T melted butter

***if you prefer, you can use 3C self rising flour and omit the salt and baking powder listed above


Preheat oven to 350F

Mix dry ingredients well (flour, salt, baking powder and sugar) by hand or using a mixer

Add beer and mix until combined, but don't over mix (ie: mixing by hand is sufficient and if using a stand mixer, don't walk away - it doesn't take long)

Spoon mixture into greased bread pan (or a fancy pan if you are entertaining)

Bake at 350F for 55 minutes - - - enjoy a glass of wine, cup of tea, or mug of coffee during this part!

Brush melted butter on top of the loaf

Bake an additional 5-10 minutes until it looks tan and delicious

Allow to cool on a wire rack

Serve and watch everyone enjoy - - - tell them it took hours if you wish!
