Better Beer Bread

Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 12
• 3 cups self-rising flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 12 ounces beer, room temperature
• 1/4 cup salted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon onion flakes
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon rosemary, ground

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 375 and spray a loaf pan (i use a glass pan).
• 2 in a large bowl, mix flour and sugar together. if you are making one of the "variations", add those ingredients to the bowl.
• 3 slowly pour in room-temperature beer, as if you were trying not to create a huge "head" of bubbles.
• 4 gently mix batter, again being careful not to whip the bubbles out of the beer and only mixing until everything is moistened. you will have lumps!
• 5 pour batter into loaf pan. melt butter and pour over batter.
• 6 bake 375 degrees for 45-47 minutes. the top will be brown and the butter will have created a wonderful, slightly salty exterior.
• 7 tip: place a sheet of foil under your loaf pan to catch any excess butter that may bubble over.
