Beer bread

Beer bread result

  • 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”.
