Beer Bread

By GratefulSea

Super easy, and everyone loves it. Goes especially great with chili and beef stew. This particular recipe comes from the food blog, "Half Baked Harvest." Check it out for great step-by-step photos. I added a note about sifting the flour because, if you just scoop it out, the bread will be more like a hard biscuit. I also added the melted butter, based on similar recipes.

Ingredients

• 3 cups flour, sifted
• 4-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, loosely packed
• 12 ounces of you favorite beer (for this one I used pumpkin ale)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4-1/2 cup melted butter

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9x5 loaf pan with nonstick spray.

Add the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and a pinch of salt to a mixing bowl. Pour in the beer and stir with a mixing spoon until just combined. Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Drizzle or brush melted butter on top.

Bake for 45-55 minutes or until the top of the bread is lightly browned and the middle is set.

Allow to sit 15 minutes before serving.
