Honey Beer Bread Recipe

med_cat: (cat in dress)
Honey Beer Bread

Ingredients:

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 Tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons honey
1 bottle (12 ounces) beer
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

[I used 4 tbsp of light olive oil instead of butter; also, dark lager beer seems to yield the best-tasting bread]

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x5x3 loaf pan and set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.) Add the beer and honey and stir until just combined. The batter will be thick.

Melt the butter, and pour half of it on the bottom of the loaf pan. Spoon the batter into the pan, and smooth slightly on top. Pour the remaining butter evenly over the top of the batter.

Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, you can lay a sheet of foil over the top to slow it down. Right when it comes out of the oven, drizzle some honey over the top, and cool slightly on a wire rack.
Serve warm, and enjoy!

BEST RECIPE EVER!!!!!

I think that Guinness makes the best beer bread. My favorite was Black lager, but any Guinness is good.

You need to try it with butter, though. I know that makes it less healthy. BUT IT'S SO GOOOOOOODDDDD!!!!!!!

It was good with olive oil; we hardly ever buy butter anymore...

And yes, it was Guinness black lager that seemed to yield the best result.

Thanks again!
