Note to self
Beer bread is a personal favorite of mine. Have you ever tasted bread that is just so… delicious? It does have beer in it, but not alcohol. The beer acts as a sort of yeast that allows the bread to rise, and it leaves behind a light whiff of a beer taste as you eat it. My brother and I put a small spin on it last Thanksgiving weekend, but that’s just because our family loves walnuts - those are entirely optional.
This recipe is basically this recipe, but with nuts and slightly less butter.
All you need is:
- 3 cups sifted flour
- 1 tbsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 bottle/can of beer
- 1/2 - 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 1/8 - 1/4 cup butter
How to:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a loaf pan with butter.
- Melt butter. Chop walnuts. Set aside.
- Mix dry ingredients with beer in a large bowl.
- Fold in nuts gently.
- Pour mixture into pan. Pour melted butter over mixture, spread it evenly so that it lightly coats the entire top of the mixture.
- Bake for 1 hour, or until top is golden.
Simply put, this recipe is delicious. Make sure to sift! The nuts add a nice sort of crunch to an already tasty bread. Have fun!
