Just about everyone I know has been to or hosted a sales/catalog party where there are lots of food samples. I have been to many, and hosted many. Almost every time the little booklets are passed around to purchase the full size version, I usually gasp at how expensive the stuff is! So, I went on a hunt to locate a (cheaper) knockoff of that delicious Beer Bread. Many different sites list the exact same recipe, so I can't give any real credit, since I have no idea who came up with this recipe.
Ingredients:
3 cups self-rising flour**
1/2 cup granulated sugar
12 ounces beer (or really any carbonated beverage, like soda)
2 tablespoons melted butter
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix all ingredients except melted butter together-stirring just until blended. Pour into greased bread loaf pan. Spread melted butter over the top of the bread during the last 10 minutes of baking. Bake at 350°F for 1 hour.
** If you don't have self-rising flour, that's fine. It can easily be made with the following recipe:
1 cup of all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Mix well. You will need to triple this for the Beer Bread recipe.
