I made another beer bread recipe from this site that does not hold a candle to this one, I only wished I would have tryed this one first, this has texture and taste and is one I will make again soon, forgot to mention I used sugar in place of the Splenda and increased to 3 tablespoons, thanks for sharing Brooke! -
This is my all time favorite bread recipe and my go-to for when I don't feel like kneading which is most of the time. I use Blue Moon and skip the splenda using extra sugar instead. After reading some of the other reviews, I may try a little honey next time. -
I used 4 packets of Sun Crystals instead of sugar or Splenda and used a bottle of Shiner Bock Ryes and Shine then topped it with a 1/2 cup melted Falfurrias Texas butter!!!. It is still baking,but I know it will be awesome!! -
really delish!! my only personal tweeks were to add ground flax into the mix and sub Earth Balance for butter while dusting the top with my bread topping crumbles of ground oats,flax and sea salt...the bread was sweet, soft, yet crusty. Truly the perfect bread for anything...truly a great recipe!!! -THANKS!!! (made for "I Recommend Tag" and I recommend you make this right now!!!)

This turned out wonderfully. Unfortunately, an hour was too long in my oven, and I didn't check on it until the timer went off so the crust is a bit burnt, but the inside is just delicious!

Wow, fantastic! Good for a baker beginner, like me (no rising, no kneading). I actually added baking soda instead of baking powder by accident, tried removing it, but was less than successful. Then I added the baking powder instead. I used regular Corona beer, added 1 tablespoon honey, no sugar and substituted Splenda for the rest of the sugar. Was quite light and very tasty. Thanks so much Brooke! -
I've never had beer bread before and this was so good! I did use the Splenda and I used Michelob Ultra for the beer. I used spray butter to spray the top of the bread instead of melted butter. There was no beer taste in mine. When you add in the beer, the mixture becomes really doughy and I had to use my hands to finish mixing it, but it baked up beautifully. I baked mine for 1 hour and the outside was a little too done, but the inside was light and fluffy. -
We really enjoyed this. It was so easy and quick to put together. I substituted sugar for the Splenda since I avoid artificial sweeteners. I baked it for only 50 minutes (my oven runs hot or something). The outside was very crispy and crunchy and the inside was soft and moist. When the beer is added to the dry ingredients, I was surprised that the texture of the batter comes out kind of like a yeast dough. Mine looked exactly like Bev's picture. Will make again. Thanks!

<br>I have been a member of Zaar for awhile now and found that I love it! I have tried so many recipes and many new foods that I never would have without Zaar.
<br>
<br>I work full-time at a university in Wisconsin, it allows me to travel a bit and see the rest of the state, I work with a lot a great people and am really happy in my job.
<br>
<br>When I'm not working, I spend time with my hubby and 12 year old son. My son has picked up my love for cooking, a few of the things he makes are - naan bread, cookies, and quick breads, I'm so proud of him! In our family we also have two cocker spaniels, our puppy Laci (above) and Peanut, that we adore like they were our children.
<br>
<br>We live in an old farm house that we are remodeling (did the library and the kitchen so far....) on the outskirts of town. Close enough where my hubby can bike to work in the summer, but far enough away from campus that we don't have to lock down our lawn ornaments in fear of college pranks!
