I'm baking beer bread. Ask me anything.

(not exactly a copycat,as the bread is really in the oven...)

1. How about the recipe?

[lildreamer316]

2. Okay..simplest thing EVER.

3-2-1

3 Cups self-rising flour
2 Tbs. Sugar
1 12 oz beer

Combine all, mix JUST until everything is combined; do not over-mix.
Let sit 15 min.
Bake 1 hour ; maybe give and extra 15 min.; at 350.

YUM!!

Feel free to add herbs or cheese to mix.

3. Damn, that is easy.

Sounds tasty too. :9

[lildreamer316]

8. I put homemade butter from the farmer's market on it...

and it's just heavenly.
Sometimes simplicity is best, no?

5. OK, I'm guessing that it may include a nice Bass Ale? n/t

[lildreamer316]

7. Any kind you want!!

Of course. I wish mine did; I just used crappy Mic from the fridge--but the darker the beer, the more intense the flavor.
I'd love to try with some of the flavored ales too; haven't done that yet.

12. Cheese, beer, herbs IN fresh bread.

Now if only I could come up with something suitable to wash it down with.

[lildreamer316]

13. HA!

Wine??

[Drum]

6. Thanks!

A friend told me verbally once but I forgot the ratio.

:toast:

[OllieLotte]

9. Thats because you were consuming some of the ingredients. n/t

[lildreamer316]

11. LOL!

where's that comedy bit that's the recipe written as someone is making rum balls, or some such? Funny as hell. I've got that thing around here somewhere.......

4. Is it like a sourdough offshoot? Rich while kinda tangy?

[lildreamer316]

10. Yes and no...

depends on the beer. Stronger beer keeps the tangyness in it after it's been cooked, ligher beer dosen't.
Only bad thing..it dosen't keep well. One of those things to cook and eat when ppl are coming over, or when you have a night where you both(!or whatever) actually sit DOWN for dinner! (ya know what I mean).

[Montauk6]

14. Why? Does it mold up quickly?

That's the setback with the REALLY good-quality loaves; unlike Wonder Bread, you gotta wolf it lest the fuzzy green stuff shows up.

[lildreamer316]

15. Yep,e xactly.

and it just doesn't taste the same after a few days. Best the day you cook it or overnight.
