This is an excellent beer bread. I used 2 tsp. bread machine yeast. Honey not molasses. It rose beautifully! Thanks for a great recipe! Jelly :)

I had a problem getting this to rise completely. Bought new yeast for the second attempt so maybe it just needs a tad more added. The flavor is great and it made a nice dense loaf that was really great toasted!

I made as posted with room temperature beer. My loaf was moist and tastes good, but it did not rise like it should have and that is the reason I am not posting the picture I took of it. I think it needs more yeast and next time will add 1/2 teaspoon. If you add too much, I think a mushroom bubble will occur. Made for PRMR. Thanks for posting mersaydees.
