  • 1

Ingredients

  • Plain flour: 350g, sifted
  • Caster sugar: 3 tbsp
  • Gruyere cheese: 250g, half shredded + half cubed
  • Ham slices: 100g, cubed
  • Spring onion: 2 stalks, chopped finely
  • Dill: leaves of 2 stalks, chopped finely
  • Double-acting baking powder: 4 tsp
  • Salt: 1/2 tsp
  • Ground black pepper: 1/2 tsp
  • Any light white beer (I used Pure Blonde here): 335ml
  • Melted unsalted butter: 4 tbsp

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven at 190 degrees. Grease loaf pan and set aside.

Mix all dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl.

Pour in beer and mix well.

Pour everything into loaf pan. Smooth and even out the surface.

Make a simpler beer batter cheese bread without ham and spring onion by using stronger cheeses like Camembert and stronger herbs like rosemary, so as to give it more fragrance.
