Brown Ale Bread

Submitted by Pangaea

"This is a cross between a Beer Bread and Boston Brown Bread. I started with a Beer Bread recipe, substituted a Brown Ale, a mixture of different flours and a touch of molasses. The end result is a dense and subtly sweet bread with a Soda Bread-like texture. As an added bonus, it is also relatively healthy."
