Beer Bread

This is a staple in my household, and I love the ways that different beers can create unique flavors for the bread. It makes it unique every time you choose a new beer for the same recipe. As such I tend to use a black lager for it's strong flavor, and it's pairing with cheese and mustard. (We're also cheese-plate people around here…)

My last post was something I made in honor of Arya Svit-Kona from Eldest. This is something that represents the culture of a band of guards (specifically dwarves) on the move.
Mainly why I chose this beer bread to represent the dwarves first and foremost, is because of the heavy revelry that Eragon and Saphira had amongst them - with numerous kegs to boot as well. Plus this type of beer is just an excellent way to make a beer bread. It adds a lot of rich depth, and robust flavor.

Beer Bread

• Flour (3 Cups)
• Sugar (1/3 Cup)
• Baking Powder (3 Teaspoons)
• Salt (1 1/2 Teaspoons)
• Beer (12 Ounces, Any Kind)
• Shortening (1 Tablespoon)

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 375 Degrees Fahrenheit.
• Grease a bread pan with the Shortening, and set aside.
• In a large bowl mix together the Flour, Sugar, Baking Powder and Salt. 
• Slowly pour in the Beer of your choice, and mix well. (The batter should be sticky.)
• After the batter has been well mixed, carefully pour into the greased bread pan, and let sit for 30 minutes.

• Bake between 45-50 minutes, or until the top is nice and crisp. 
• Plate and Enjoy!

I love beer bread… Honestly it's the simplest thing to make, and it's so quick and easy. It makes a great party snack with dip that complements the choice of beer you had.

Not to mention it makes a bland sandwich become amazing. 

So to wrap up this post I just want to prep people for some fusion food soon. I'll be cooking for Eldest but incorporating trademark Irish-American Saint Patricks Day food for Tuesday! Yippee for that one!

See you all tomorrow with a quick little post as well!
