This is a great recipe when you need a quick bread as a side for soups and salads. Can be made with pantry ingredients and in about an hour.
Ingredients
- 3 cups All purpose or bread flour
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 - 3 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 - 12oz. can beer
Optional
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
Note
- Use less sugar if eating with savory items. Use more sugar if eating with sweet spreads for breakfast.
- Top with 2T. melted butter for a softer crust. Without butter it will have a very crisp crust.
- Different beers will affect the flavor of the bread. Use beer you enjoy drinking.
- Using bread flour will give the bread more 'chew' than AP flour.
- Self-rising flour can be used too. Just omit the salt and baking powder.
Directions

| Grease a 8" x 4" or 9" x 5" bread pan. Preheat oven to 375°F. | |

| Bake for 45-50 minutes. Cool before slicing. | |
