Cheddar Beer Bread

JenBlacker's Note:

I love beer. I love cheese. This combines both of my loves into a tasty quick bread. Use the type of beer you enjoy drinking. I have found heavier beers such as the lovely flavors that come out during Oktoberfest time make the best cheddar beer breads. I use extra sharp cheddar, but if you don't like it you can substitute normal cheddar for this recipe.

• Total Time: 55 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 50 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 8-12

Yield: 1.0 loaf

• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 1/4 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
• 12 ounces beer (1 bottle)

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients together, mixing in beer last. Batter should be the consistency of Bisquick. Spoon into a well greased bread pan and bake at 350 degrees (f) for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
2. Let bread rest in it's pan for about 10 minutes then let it cool on a rack for another 10 or so. If you can wait that long!

This was great! Easy too. My kids ate it up!

Seemed a little gooey after baking full time. Good flavor though, used regular Budweiser.

I used scotch ale as a base, then instead of green onions i added some caramelized walla-wallas. I also added some garlic, basil, and oregano. It turned out really nicely and only lasted a day! Thanks for posting!
