Beer and Cheese Bread

People talking
The beer in this recipe makes the bread rise well and gives it a malty flavor, depending on the kind of beer you use. We like using a dark beer. Try this toasted with your favorite soup or stew.

I followed the recipe exactly but didn't realize that I only had a 1.5 lb setting but it turned out great. I can't wait to make it again.Reply

Oh, my, this is tasty!!! I used a blend of medium, sharp and extra aged cheddar and threw in about a teaspoon of cracked black pepper. I also used a very dark beer. This is so, so good I might just have to start keeping beer in the house. Thanks for posting!Reply

This is pretty tasty. I used some sharp cheese I had laying around and some medium cheddar. I used too much cheese as I had to keep adding flour as it was very sticky. I removed after the rising and punched it down and made 2 loaves for the oven. It rose and fell when it started baking but I think that was my fault. I'll try again using the recommended cheeses.Reply

Oh My!! I must confess I made this bread only b/c for some reason we had an opened can of beer that had been in the fridge for a couple days. So I viewed this as challenge since I hate to waste anything! So I searched Zaar and found this recipe. So glad!! This bread is delicious! I didn't taste the beer much, but we used a light beer. I must admit I made this pretty late and I overshot the cheese by probably 1/2 cup! But I must say I'll probably do it again on purpose! I used sharp cheddar that we had on hand. The bread is moist, soft and will definitely be made again and again! (Will have to 'accidentally' open a can...) :) I made the dough in breadmaker then placed in loaf pan, let it rise for about 1/2 hour, then baked at 350 for about 30 minutes.Reply
