Honey Wheat Beer Bread

Erindipity's Note:

From the Paula Deen magazine. This is a hearty slightly sweet beer bread. I have made with the honey wheat beer called for as well as regular beer and flavored beers. The baked bread may be frozen for later use. If you like, the dry ingredients can also be made into a mix and labeled with instructions for later use.

This bread was great! It was sweet, hearty, and a little sticky, perfect to serve with a thick chowder for dinner on a cold evening. Thanks for posting!

This is great bread. I found the honey wheat beer at a brewery pub close to home. It makes a very tasty bread. I'll be making this again but must be careful as I can kill a whole loaf by myself! Thanks for posting Erindipity. Made for My3Chefs Nov '09.
