Beer Bread

Last month, mom and I went to a Tastefully Simple party and ate more than our share of their beer bread mix. We each purchased a mix to make at home, but at $5.49 + tax a box, plus the beer and butter, I figured there’s got to be an easy at home recipe. So I found one on food.com (link), and it’s fantastic!



3 c flour, sifted
3 t baking powder (omit if using Self-Rising Flour)
1 t salt (omit if using Self-Rising Flour)
1/4 c sugar
1 12 oz. can/bottle beer
1/4 – 1/2 c butter, melted

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Mix dry ingredients and beer.
3. Pour into a greased loaf pan and pour melted butter over mixture.
5. Bake 1 hour, remove from pan and cool for at least 15 minutes.

According to the link, sifting the flour is the key. I used sifted whole-wheat flour and didn’t have any issue. I also only used 1/4 cup of butter, a half cup seems a little excessive to me! This recipe is really easy to make and the product is a very hearty satisfying bread. Yum!
