Bread Made From Beer

Homemade beer bread

We got this interesting receipt from Zesty cook. Its homemade bubbly beer bread. Its pretty simple to make. No yeast, No rising, simply dump in the ingredients - give it a mix and drop it in the pan.
This bread would be ideal to go along with a nice hearty stew or even along side a nice pasta dish.

Zesty Tip: Sifting flour for bread recipes is a must. Most people just scoop the 1 cup measure in the flour canister and level it off. That compacts the flour and will turn your bread into a “hard biscuit”. If you do not have a sifter, use a spoon to place the flour into the 1 cup measure.

So there it is… possibly the easiest loaf of bread I have ever made. Beer bread.

Sturmey - sifting

|205.200.22.xxx |2009-03-02 19:26:26

While sifting is a good thing for removing lumps and foreign matter from your
flour, you will NOT make a hard biscuit if you don't sift the flour. you may
have a slightly higher flour content, but if you were a serious baker you would
recommend a scale and weigh the flour.

I challenge you to bake 2 loaves, one
with sifted flour and one without, or better yet get someone else to bake the
loaves and you try to tell them apart.
