Beer bread. I honestly had never heard of it until I mentioned to my coworker I was invited to a Tastefully Simple party. I ended up buying 4 boxes that night- 3 for my coworker and 1 for myself. I then knew why she was wanting 3 boxes at a time! 🙂
After spending what feels like nearly half my life on Pinterest (my husband would agree)- there it was, a recipe for honey beer bread that seemed simple and easy to make. I made the loaf not even 24 hours ago and it’s entirely GONE. My husband said this is “one of the top five” things I’ve ever made him. Adapted from Gimme Some Oven, here it is:
Honey Beer Bread
Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons of honey or agave nectar
1 bottle (12 ounces) beer
4 tbsp (1/2 stick) butter, melted (I used salted)
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a loaf pan and in a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Using a spoon, stir the beer and honey into the dry ingredients until just mixed. Pour half the melted butter into the loaf pan. Then spoon the batter into the pan, and pour the rest of the butter on top of the batter. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Serve immediately (best when warm!).
I mixed all of my dry ingredients and added the beer. I probably should have used a bigger bowl.
I then spooned it into the baking pan and poured the remaining butter on the top.
I placed it in the oven and thankfully I checked on it, as it started to rise into the broiler in my oven! I had to move it to the side. (I have a double oven range so the top oven is smaller.)
The final product!!
