Making beer bread tonight with Michelob Ultra
- 3 cups sifted flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 beer (12 oz.) of your choice
- 1/2 cup melted butter
Mix ingredients in large bowl except the butter. Pour the beer in while mixing.
Sometimes I like to use 1.5 beers.
Butter the inside of a regular size bread pan. Pour mixture into pan. Pour melted butter onto top of mixture. Place in oven at 375d for 1 hour.
Add whatever you want to the above ingredients. I added a little garlic to the top tonight.
The beer immediately makes the bread rise. This is really good stuff right out of the oven!"
Made some tonite. Other than my personal dislike for Michelob (I subbed a Miller) it's great. I think my granny use to make this and she called it soda bread.
thx J.P.
Glad you are putting that recipe to good use. It's not hard to eat the entire loaf after it comes out of the oven!
1/2 cup o'butter would make anything taste good, probably even eggplant and okra!
eggplant... okra...why waste butter on either of those if you have beer bread?
i might make this for the next church potluck....
Ok, I just threw this in the oven, but what am I to do with the other 1/2 of a beer ??:-O
I used Sam Adams Winter Lager, we'll see how it does.
The bread recipe sounds good
but, What's wrong with okra and/eggplant. I must have eaten at least a hundred bushels of okra in my life and probably fifty of eggplant. I love okra fried, boiled on top of a pot of peas, stewed with tomatoes, pickled, etc. Of course it is WONDERFUL in gumbo.

That was quite good:-D
Turned out great! I used margarine instead of butter, it seemed to boil over in the oven, next time I'd use about 1/2 the suggested amount. I also used regular sugar because I did not know the wife keeps our brown sugar in the refrigerator.
Tasted great today after coming in from working outside all day.
