Beer Bread

By Tufgrlz

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 3 T sugar
• 1 T baking powder
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 12 ounces beer
• 1 egg, beaten

Preparation

Step 1

Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees.

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add beer (no sips!) and stir with a fork until combined. Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead quickly to form a ball.

Place bread on a baking sheet and confidently slit an X on top with a serrated or very sharp knife. Brush the loaf with egg wash.

Bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes.

Transfer to a wire rack to cool and serve.
