Beer Bread!
And now a word from The Accidental Domestic Goddess:
"I gots me the bestest beer bread recipe in th'knowed universe."
(And, no, the icon has no special relevance to this post. I just like it.)
I don't know how common beer bread is. Perhaps it's a Texan thing, or a Southern thing or even an American thing. Shoot, it might be known the world over, but if you've never tried it, might I suggest this recipe? Even if you don't *like* beer, if you like yeast bread, you will probably like beer bread. There's no beer flavor to it, just good yeastiness in a quick bread.
I used to have this recipe and then I lost it. *sob* I've tried quite a few others in my search for it but I finally found it again today. *sigh*
3 cups self-rising flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup melted butter (you can cut that down by up to about half, but I'd try it as is, first)
12 oz beer (that's a bottle in the US)
Preheat oven to 375(f)
Grease a loaf pan (I use Pam - an all-vegetable cooking spray)
Melt butter
Sift the flour and sugar together in a mixing bowl. Add the beer. Stir until mixed (it will be sticky). Put it in the loaf pan and pour the melted butter over the dough. Cook for 1 hour. Serve hot from the oven or the next day... if there's any left. :-) Excellent with soups or stews or to throw at hungry teenagers while they're cleaning their rooms (assuming you've run out of raw zebra).
We now return to your regular programming.
