Beer Bread - A Few of My Favourite Things

I don't enjoy drinking beer (don't judge me!), but I do love cooking with it.  I've used it in stews, mustards, cooking seafood, but this Beer Bread is the best!  I got it from a food magazine years ago.


This Beer Bread is one of my favourite things because....

• Tastes like beer.  I know I'm a hypocrite.  I like the beer flavour in food.
• It's easy peasey to make.
• It toasts great.
• It keeps well.
• It has a nice eating texture (a bit like crumpets).
• If I wasn't photographing on weekends and could go to bbq's and dinners, this would be a definite take along.

Here is the recipe:

Beer Bread
3 cups flour
3 teaspoons salt
1 can beer (not low alcohol)
some grated cheese


Preheat oven to 200 degrees celcius
Mix flour, baking powder, salt and beer in a large bowl.  Will be a batter like consistency. 
Tip into a well greased loaf tin (mine is 21x12cm in size).  
Sprinkle with grated cheese.
Bake for about 50 minutes until golden.


Yummo!
