Basic Beer Bread
Simple and easy to make bread. Perfect addition to a soup, grilled cheese or toast and jam. Dense and delicious. Best served warm!
Ingredients
- 3 ½ Cups Lannie Rae Gourmet All Purpose Breakfast & Baking Mix if using a scale – 575 grams
- 1 Can Lager Beer ( or pour 355 ml from a larger beer) flavours vary – feel free to play around with different beers!
- ½ Cup melted butter (divided) optional but oh so good!
Instructions
- Set your oven to the 375℉ and prepare to use the middle rack. Measure out 3.5 Cups of All Purpose Breakfast & Baking Mix into a large mixing bowl. Create a well in the middle of the mix.
- Measure out 3 ½ Cups or 575 grams of All Purpose Breakfast & Baking Mix into a large mixing bowl. Create a well in the middle of the mix.
- Pour the beer (355 ml) into the centre well. Using a wood spoon slowly fold in the mix and combine to bake a sticky batter forming a large ball of dough. You may “need to knead" the dough by hand on a lightly floured surface.
- Prepare a large loaf pan with non stick spray or parchment paper. Move the dough into the prepared pan and spread out evening. Use lightly wet hands if necessary.
- Cover the loaf pan with a tea towel and allow the loaf to "rest & rise" for about 5 minutes. This isn't a necessary step – but we do it most times none the less!
- Melt your butter and drizzle about ¼ of a cup over the entire loaf. Pop in the loaf in the oven Bake on the middle rack for 45-50 minutes or until the bread has a nice golden crust.
- When ready, remove the loaf pan from the oven & drizzle with remaining ¼ cup of melted butter. Best served warm or sliced and toasted!
