Easy Beer Bread

Submitted by Laura T

"An awesome tasting and super simple recipe for beer bread. Mixes in one bowl and makes a lovely rustic and flavorful bread. So far I've only used lighter beer (Blue Moon Belgian White specifically) but am definitely going to be experimenting more with other types of beer (especially Guinness), as well as herb combinations. There's no need to let this mix rise either, perfect for when you're in a bit of time pinch. This recipe makes one standard sized loaf."

Seemed to have too much salt for my taste.

Easy and tasty, produced a crispy crust and thick, fragrant inside. Made for Pick A Chef Spring 2008.
