By bklynmommy

Ingredients

• 3 cups all purpose flour (363 grams)
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 1/4 cup shredded cheese (I used Monterey Jack, Colby and Cheddar mixture)
• 1 12 ounce bottle of beer (can is fine too)
• 4 slices of bacon, cooked and chopped (1/4 c real bacon bits)
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°.

Prepare bread pan by greasing with butter. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar with a whisk. Make a well in the center. Add bacon, about 3/4 of cheese and full beer into the well.


Stir mixture with a spoon until combined.


Pour mixture into prepared bread pan. Add remaining cheese. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of butter. Bake for 30 minutes.


Remove from oven and drizzle remaining butter over the top.


Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until browned on top and loaf thumps when you tap the top.


Remove to a wire rack and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and allow to cool on wire rack. You can brush with more butter if you choose.
