Beer Bread from Navy Dorm days by Elizabeth

My friend Elizabeth at work shared this simple and cost effective recipe that is SO much better than the store bought mix. The cute part, she found the recipe while in the Navy years ago in her Dorm Cookbook.

Still searching for what to cook ?

INGREDIENTS

1 (12 oz) can beer ; room temperature optional
3 cups self rising flour ; sifting is optional
3 T sugar

Servings

INSTRUCTIONS

In a bowl or if you are being lazy yet careful, use that loaf pan, mix together the sugar and flour with a fork. For a softer loaf, you can sift the flour or spoon it a tablespoon at a time in your measuring cup so it doesn't pack. Add beer and continue to mix, don't over mix. Batter will be sticky. Pour into a 9 x 5 inch cooking sprayed loaf pan.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees ) for 50 for 60 minutes. The top will be crunchy, and the insides will be soft.

My thoughts for topping.. Serve topped with butter, honey butter or my favorite local classic, Win Schulers cheddar "bar scheeze" cheese spread from Marshall, MI.

NOTES

Elizabeth also suggested using creme soda instead of beer and a bit of cinnamon to make french bread. This bread just loves syrup!

I used Great Lakes Conway's Irish Ale from Cleveland, OH for a sweet but hearty bread that's yummy with a bit of garlic butter.

Added herbs and garlic...

So simple yummy and changeable.
