Some say bacon makes everything taste, well in this millennia I say “beer makes everything taste good”. Quote me! I had oxtail braised in beer, now here is beer bread.
This quick beer bread features Sierra Amber from my favorite micro-brewery, Sierra. Love the look of this bread, all lumpy & bumpy like the moon’s surface. Tastes amazing straight from the oven. The better the beer the deeper the flavour though I would not use a pale lager to make this bread. I think darker beers have deeper richer flavour.
I adapted this recipe from recipebazaar . Just make sure you sift all the dry ingredients, I learnt this from an chef Shuna at her blog eggbeater.typepad.com . You know she is right, she used to work at the French Laundry.
- 375 grams sifted plain flour
- 355 mls beer (pour it out early, to let it go flat)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 25 grams butter melted
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees celsius.Grease baking tin with a little butter.
- Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Add beer to dry ingredients & mix until just combined. It will be heavy, lumpy & thick.
- Pour into baking tin, pour melted butter on top,
- Bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove from tin, let cool on rack for about 10 minutes.
- Eat up!
