Easy Beer Bread

Easy Beer Bread – the simplest quick bread you can make, either white or whole wheat.

Beer bread is one of the easiest quick breads one can make. It is not made with yeast so you just need to mix ingredients together, pop it in the oven and in about 40 minutes you get fresh homemade baked bread.

You can either use all-purpose flour or the mixture of all-purpose and whole wheat flour. It is very important to sift the flour so that bread doesn’t turn out to dense.

If you prefer bread with soft crust, mix whole amount of butter into the dough. For crunchier crust, pour butter over the bread.

Beer bread can be made as often as you like and served with a bowl of hot soup or spread with a knob of butter.
