What kind of beer did you use?

[thechick]

I used the White Hawk IPA by Mendocino Brewing Company. This is one of the more bitter IPAs that I have tasted. It makes a great bread though.

Thanks for ths recepie. It reminded me of a recepie I had lost with my mother when she died. My Grandma made when she came from Italy something similar like a sxsweet bread really. They were called Beer Cookies and basically it was the same recepie with some milk , maybe more flour and chunks of crushed pinapple worked into it spread on a cookie pan and cut into thick chewy sofy buttery sweet doughy squres. Beer really adds a uniuque great flavor to all foods. I'm gonna find that recepie and post it and I have a family Reunion coming up o the 15th I think I will make them, the famly will have fond memories of our Grandma Thanks perfect timimg Tiea

Those cookies sound great. I want to try variationso n this recipe: cheese beer bread, garlic rosemary and dill. An alternative I have seen it to use self rising flour and remove the salt and baking powder.

is your beer at room temp?
i noticed when i make beer bread its better warm than fridge cold.

The first time I used room temperature beer, the most recent time I used a cold beer and it was about the same. They were different types of beer. I suppose that makes some difference.

Thank god for reading skills. Hailing from Europe I am not too certain on ounces. So I used half a liter of beer (16 oz) and was a bit surprised at the liquidity of the "dough". Was trusting the recipe and about to put it into the oven. But then I decided to get out the pocket calculator - just added more of everything else, got a nice dough and nice bread. :)

Very tasty!
