Cheddar and Chive Beer Bread

I am not in to baking bread but this recipe is so darn tasty and easy that I simply can't resist ;-) Hint: You can substitute the chives with basil, cilantro, or even minced onions as yummy variations.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1 Tbsp. sugar
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 Tbsp. baking powder
• 2 Tbsp. fresh chives, chopped, or 2 tsp dried
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, finely grated
• 12 oz. beer, room temperature

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, chives, and cheddar in a large mixing bowl. Slowly stir in beer and mix just until combined. Batter will be thick. Spread in a greased 8-inch loaf pan and bake about 45 minutes. (test after 40 minutes with a toothpick to be on the safe side)

Cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool 10 more minutes before serving.

Beer Bread

A year ago I was introduced to Tastefully Simple. I love every product that I have purchased from them but they are kind of expensive. The one that I liked the most was their Beer Bread Mix. This sells for $5 a box that makes 1 loaf of bread. I recently found a recipe for beer bread that is so cheap and it is very easy.

Directions

Stir three cups self-rising flour, one third cup sugar and one 12 oz. can of beer into a big sticky lump. Grease a loaf pan with spray shortening or rub solid shortening, oil or butter around. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes.

Pour on as much of a stick of melted butter that will run over the top and down the sides without overflowing; bake 15 minutes longer. Let it sit in the pan for at least 10 minutes to soak up all the butter before serving.

Easiest 2-ingredient Beer Bread

Ingredients

• 2 2/3 cup self rising flour
• 1 can or bottle any kind of beer

Directions

That's all but great add-ins are dried or fresh herbs, grated cheese, onion flakes, poppy seeds, caraway seeds, etc. I like fresh rosemary, grated garlic-from a jar, and grated cheeses, cheddar or jack.

Mix ingredients well, spray loaf pan and pour in batter. Bake at 375 degrees F until top is hard and a stick comes out dry.

People are so impressed with home-made bread!

Dwayne Schmidt's Beer Bread

Ingredients

• 3 cups self rising flour
• 3 tbsps. sugar
• 1 can warm beer

Directions

Mix ingredients and put in 2 greased regular sized loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees F., 45-50 minutes. Butter tops while hot to make crunchy.

**When making nut breads, banana breads and pumpkin breads put another loaf pan upside down on top of bread and bake it for 20 minutes. Then uncover. This will keep the loaf more level.**
