A couple days ago I was in a baking mood - I know, weird! It is for me anyway, I love to cook but baking usually isn't my thing. I made some goodies for the kids and while I was at it I decided to have a go at some cheesy beer bread. It was really yummy although I only had about 1/2 cup of cheddar, it definitely would have been better with the full cup added.Ingredients:
3 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp sea salt
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar (optional)
12 oz. bottle of beer
2 tbsp butter, melted
Combine all ingredients except beer and butter, mix well. Slowly add beer, mix until combined, place into greased loaf pan (or two mini loaf pans like I did), pour melted butter over top and bake at 350 for about 50-55 minutes.
This is a very hearty bread that I thought would be perfect to serve in the winter with stews or chili. I think it would also be great with some herbs added. I'll definitely make this again!
Wow cheesey beer bread sounds wonderful! I'm impressed from another non-baker cook here!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite bread! So easy and perfect with so many soups and chilis and salads!
ReplyDeleteEmail is down and my brother is incommunicado - have a great 1st day back tomorrow!
That sounds like 10 kinds of awesome! And no yeast, I love that. I could actually bake this one.
ReplyDeletei don't eat cheese but i did recently make beer bread and my was it tasty. Makes me want to make it again soon!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like just the thing to round out the meal with some salad or soup. I love how easy this sounds!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds wonderful; especially slathered in butter.
ReplyDeleteI just had one of those crazy aha moments when I realized how stupid I can be. I looked at your profile picture, like I have hundreds of times and I finally saw that it's feet at the beach. All of this time, I thought you were standing on tile and the flash had reflected off the carpet strip. I am so sorry I am so dense.
Thanks for the recipe, it looks and sounds like an unusual treat.

I have been meaning to make beer bread for FOREVER...especially one that's smothered in cheddar cheese. This looks so tasty! I'm so glad you got into a baking mood.
ReplyDeleteI just added a cheese bread to TMS Show and Tell before I saw your link for cheese bread... mine doesn't have beer though, lol... :)
ReplyDeleteAm making this even as I comment - can't wait for it to come out of the oven!!
ReplyDeleteI love beer bread- never tried it with cheese though. Will have to experiment now!
