Oh my goodness. Do you love bread? Do you love bread just SO much, like more than or just as much as chocolate???? Then you just gotta try this amazing EASY beer bread recipe. It was super easy, except for sifting the flour... that was not easy. Maybe it was just my shifter but, it took time to shift 3 cups of flour. Yet, sifting is SUPER important to the quality of this bread so it has to be done. And the taste is beyond amazing. The bread melts in your mouth and is SO good with honey and full of flavor. Here is the super easy recipe:
3 cups self rising flour --- MUST MUST BE SHIFTED or bread will be like a brick. One 12 ounce can beer
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup melted REAL butter
Preheat oven 375. Mix dry ingredients and beer. Pour in greased loaf pan. Pour butter over batter. Bake 1 hour. Let cool 15 minutes. You can use non-alcoholic beer if you wish but you will need to add a packet of dry active yeast. The alcohol cooks off so I don't see any reason to not use a real beer because the flavor is so much richer. Yummy yummy yummy!!!
Right in the heart of Allen / Plano Texas is a Conservatory park called Connemara. We went with a homeschool enrichment group and had so much fun. If it weren't for the 2 nature guides it would of been just a typical walk in the woods and Annah and I do that every day (walk through the woods for miles ) but, the nature guides explained about flowers and bugs and trees and leaves.... I always wondered what that spit looking stuff was on flowers and it is actual spit from a Spittal bug and it has eggs in it..its a spit nest. Its nice to see 72 acres of conserved land and meadow right in the middle of busy cities. 
That bread looks delicious! I'll have to ask my son to bring a beer over so I can try it. He absolutely LOVES bread anyway, so it would be a good thing for him. :)

ReplyDeleteSifting. Funny story...my wife asked me to sift flour for her one time for a dish she was making. I didn't quite understand the purpose of sifting...I thought it was just to separate the grains of flour a little better or something. Well, when I got done, a packed all the flour down with my knuckles so it was hard again. "What on earth are you doing?" she asked. "I'm packing it down so you get a true cup of flour." "NOOOO!!! That's why you sift it...we don't want it packed." "Oh. Oops. Sorry."
ReplyDeleteYour recipe sounds interesting. My wife makes our bread about every 3 days...I'll have to forward this one to her.
I'm so excited you are going to Costa Rica!!! Maybe we'll see you there!
ReplyDeleteI think that recipe is easier enough even for me! Sounds delicious!
