HONEY BEER BREAD
You will love this sweet, delicious (and easy!) beer bread!
PREP TIME: 10 MINS COOK TIME: 60 MINS TOTAL TIME: 70 MINS
INGREDIENTS:
* 3 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 tablespoon baking powder
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 cup honey*
* 1 bottle (12 ounces) beer
* 4 tablespoons (half stick) butter, melted
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 5 x 3-inch bread pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt until combined. Slowly pour the beer and honey into the flour mixture, and stir until combined. (I recommend popping your honey in the microwave for a few seconds beforehand to make it easier to stir in!)
Pour half of the melted butter into the bottom of the loaf pan, and spread it around evenly. Then add the batter to the pan in an even layer, and brush the rest of the butter around evenly on top of the batter.
Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the top of the bread is golden brown and a toothpick or knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Serve immediately.
*My original recipe called for 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons honey, which still works! I just prefer going with 100% honey nowadays.
**If you'd like a cheesier bread, feel free to stir in 1 cup grated sharp cheddar after you've mixed in the beer.
Recipe slightly adapted from Ezra Pound Cake.
