Directions: |
Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix dry ingredients and beer.
Pour into a greased loaf pan.
Pour melted butter over mixture.
Bake 1 hour, remove from pan and cool
for at least 15 minutes.
UPDATED NOTES: This recipe makes a
very hearty bread with a crunchy,
buttery crust. If you prefer a softer crust
(like a traditional bread) mix the butter
into the batter instead of pouring it over
the top.
Sifting flour for bread recipes is a must do. Most people just scoop the 1 cup
measure in the our canister and level it
off. That compacts the flour and will
turn your bread into a "hard biscuit" as
some have described. That's because
they aren't sifting their flour! If you do
not have a sifter, use a spoon to spoon
the our into the 1 cup measure. Try it
once the "correct" way and you will see.
I have had many email from you kind folks about using non-alcoholic beverages instead of beer. That is fine to do but I highly recommend adding a packet of Dry Active Yeast or 2 teaspoons of Bread (Machine) Yeast so that you get a proper rise.
The final result should be a thick, hearty and very tasteful bread, NOT A BRICK! ;).
Thank you all for the incredibly nice comments and those of you who left a bad review - learn to sift sift SIFT! You will be amazed at the results you get.
