Beer Bread
Description
The "Beer Bread" recipe mixes self-rising flour, sugar, and kosher salt directly with beer, typically a light lager like Bud Light, to create a sticky batter that requires no yeast or rising time. The reaction between the baking agents in the flour and carbonation in the beer helps the bread rise during baking in a buttered, 8x4 inch loaf pan.
Baking at 375°F for about 55 minutes forms a well-risen loaf with a soft crumb and thin crust. Brushing melted butter over the top during the last three minutes enhances moisture and promotes an appealing golden color and soft crust texture.
This bread is uncomplicated and quick to prepare, suitable as an accompaniment to soups, stews, or for sandwich use. The recipe requires minimal ingredients and effort while yielding a tender bread with a mild malt flavor from the beer.
