Prepared for Recipe Swap #14, served with "Recipe#287619"- had to add salt, baking powder, and baking soda to wholemeal flour, but it WORKED !! Used Sam Adams Boston Ale, an entire bottle (12 0z.), and had a brown , but light and fluffy bread, seasoned with fresh parsley and dried chives. This was quickly and easily put together and will do again ! Thanks, Sonya01, for a tasty winter treat !

I live in Keilor Downs, Victoria in Australia. I am a receptionist in Melbourne. My favorite cook books are anything Weight Watchers or Simply 2 good 2 be true also any muffin or scone cook books. I love cooking easy stuff but I love a challange ocasionaly on the weekends when i have a bit more time. My pet peeve is how much capsicum/bell peppers are in recipes now as i am elergic to them.
