This is what I have to do when my parents are drinking too much alcohol…


I’m just kiddding… My parents hardly drink at all. But we did have a couple cans of beer hanging around and since I know canned beer is repulsive to my father I decided to put some of it to good use. Have you ever heard of beerbread? Well, now you have. This bread, it’s definitely unique. Aaaand it requires like 4 or 5 ingredients, 3 is you have self-rising flour.

I’m not sure what this bread is going to be used foryet.Probablyanything. Use your creative juices! A turkey sandwich? A quick snack with some butter? Maybe you can carve it into a cool bread-sculpture. (Send me a picture! hehe) Speaking of carving, has anyone seen that new show on Food Network, “Ice Brigade”? I can’t tell what I think about it yet. It just doesn’t seem like Food Network. You can’t eat it. What’s the point? Then again, they do make some pretty amazing things. Way better than I could do with play-doh, let alone ice.

Our Star!

Anyways, where was I? Oh yeah! Beer bread. Well, let me warn ya, it smells soo good when in the oven. It’s like a little bakery in here. And the taste, well I almost don’t even want to tell you because to be honest I didn’t have very high expectations of this recipe myslef. But dang, this stuff is good. Its got a nice crust with a soft, bread inside. The perfect amount of sweetness greets your taste buds, that makes you want to do a little victory dance. How about you get your little heinie in the kitchen now and bake some. You’ll be surprised :) Plus it may just be the easiest thing I have ever baked.

Beer Bread

1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle of beer

3 c. self-rising flour (or 3 cups of flour sifted with 1 1/2 t. salt and 4 1/2 t. baking powder)

3 T. white sugar

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a large bow, mix together the sugar and flour. Add beer and continue to mix, using a wooden spoon. Batter will be sticky. Pour into a 9 x 5 inch greased loaf pan.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees F for 50-60 minutes. The top will be crunchy and the insides will be soft. Serve with butter or cheese spread.

Why are you still here? Shoo! Turn that oven on!

  1. That beer bread looks wonderful. I used to make this all the time and have not made it in years. Thanks for a great post and for stopping by my place recently. I will have to try this and check it against my recipe. Have a great week.
