Mmm . . . warm bread on a cold winter day! The name says it all! This is really a life saver when you forget to crank up the bread machine and then suddenly you realize that it’s already time for dinner!
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 T baking powder
1/4 t salt
(Note: 2 1/4 cups self-rising flour can be substituted for the above 3 ingredients)
3 T sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 bottle beer
2 T melted butter
Preheat oven to 400. Spray an 8 1/2 X 4 1/2 inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients. Pour in beer and melted butter. Mix together until batter is moistened. Spread evenly in loaf pan. Bake for 45 minutes. Presto!
Note: Any kind of beer works well in this recipe, however, I have found that a dark lager such as a “bock” gives the most full flavor in the bread. In Texas we have a wonderful beer called “Shiner Bock” that I prefer to use to make this bread. (Die hard Shiner Bock fans would be aghast that I am eating this beer rather than drinking it!).
