Course: Appetizer, Breads
Cuisine: American
Servings: 1 loaf
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rye or wheat flour
  • 3 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 Tablespoons sugar
  • 12 ounces nut brown ale room temperature (opened right before using)
  • 3 Tablespoon butter melted
Method
  1. Heat oven to 375°F.
  2. Prepare a 7″ x 3″ loaf pan with cooking spray.

  3. In a large mixing bowl sift together all dry ingredients.
  4. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture, open the beer and pour. Mix the beer into the flour to create a thick batter. Stir only enough to make sure all of the flour is moistened. Over mixing will create a tough bread.
  5. Spread dough into the prepared pan, and pour the melted butter over the top.
  6. Bake in the oven for 50 – 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the top has formed a golden crust.
  7. Remove from the oven, and allow bread to stand in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool.
Cooks Notes

I used a combination of all-purpose and rye flour for this recipe.

 

The original recipe called for 3 cups of self-rising flour. If you do not have self-rising flour you can make your own:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
