Beer bread
- 2 cups of some kind of flour (multigrain, rye, whatever)
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour (unbleached preferably)
- 1 can of beer (of the standard 355 ml variety)
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tbsp. baking powder
- 1 tbsp. sugar (I’ve mostly been using brown)
- 1 tsp. salt
That’s really about it. Mix it together, throw it in a 375°F oven for 55 minutes or so and you’re done. The fun part comes when you start playing around with the theme: adding figs and walnuts, raisins and ground cloves, y’know, experimenting. Before you know it, you’ll be saying “I’m quite happy with that maple glaze, but it might go well with some sprinkled oats”.

Hey Brad – it’s Michelle. Since you won’t take my sheep or ore, I thought I’d repay the favour of you posting this recipe by suggesting it for the next Vegan Cook-a-long. Let me know if you want your name or link added to the post. I can do that. I have the power.

By all means, use your powers indiscriminately. What harm ever came from that?
