Q: GOT BEER? A: BEER BREAD!!!

We cannot get enough of beer bread because it is so easy with just 3 basic ingredients. It is as tasty and an almost fool proof party treat. We always have an extra can of beer from a party or open a big bottle of beer and cannot finish it. Do not use beer that is already flat because the process requires gas to incorporate the flour.

You will need:

• 3 cups flour, we like to use self-rising. This makes everything simpler coz if not you will have to put baking powder.
• 3 tablespoons of sugar.
• 1 (12-ounce) can of beer.

No kneading is required. Just take a spoon and stir. Once everything is mixed and there are no lumps of flour, pour the mixture into a greased pan. You can flavour your bread with salt, herbs (for us mixed herbs is the best), or fresh rosemary, dried tomatoes, nuts, cheese...

1. Preheat oven to 375*F (190*C). Lightly grease or spray a 9x5x3 inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Combine all ingredients, mixing well.
3. Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake for 1 hour. (I usually put some butter on the loaf at about 30 minutes before the end).

Let it cool before slicing. It really depends on your pan. If you are using a shallow pan, then you probably do not need an hour. Just take it out before it burns on the top.

Enjoy!
