Beer Bread

I tried a new recipe today and it was wonderful!  It was delicious with some butter on it and it was even better in my potato soup!

 

 

 

Beer Bread

3 cups flour, sifted (not packed)
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp kosher salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 12 oz bottle of beer (I used Budweiser)
1 stick of butter
Optional: 6 oz of grated cheese (I used Colby Monterrey Jack)

Preheat oven to 375*

In a medium bowl and using a wire whisk, sift together all dry ingredients.

Add cheese (if using).  Add beer and stir with a wooden spoon until well mixed.

Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray and pour bread batter into the pan.

Pour melted butter over the top of the beer bread batter.

Bake for 1 hour.

Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan.
