Recipe 15 - Mel's Beer Bread

[coffeesnob318]

I love this bread.

See? Behold the delicious...





I also love how easy this bread is to make. This was the first time I made beer bread from scratch (i.e., not from a mix). If I'd known how easy it was, I would have never spent all that money on the mix.

I got this recipe from my friend Mel. It's really simple - Mix together three cups of self-rising flour, one warm beer (I use Corona), and two tablespoons of sugar. Pour into a greased loaf pan (or two, if you have small ones or want to shave about ten minutes off the cooking time...and I do), and bake at 350 for about an hour.

Simple as pie. Simpler, actually.

Edited to add - The most important part - after you get it into the loaf pan(s), pour a stick of melted butter over the top before you put it in the oven to give it that nice golden glow. Happy.

I forgot to include the best part! After you get it in the loaf pan(s), pour a stick of melted butter over the top before putting it in the oven. Mel said you can use half a stick, but that just sounds like madness to me.
