Beer Batter Bread Recipes

BEER BATTER BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Add the beer all at once, mixing as little as possible; the batter should be lumpy.
• Pour the batter into a 9-x-5-x-3-inch loaf pan and brush with the melted butter. Bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Turn out onto a rack to cool.

BEER BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Mix dry ingredients and beer.
• Pour into a greased loaf pan.
• Pour melted butter over mixture.
• Bake 1 hour, remove from pan and cool for at least 15 minutes.
• UPDATED NOTES: This recipe makes a very hearty bread with a crunchy, buttery crust. If you prefer a softer crust (like a traditional bread) mix the butter into the batter instead of pouring it over the top.
• Sifting flour for bread recipes is a must-do. Most people just scoop the 1 cup measure in the flour canister and level it off. That compacts the flour and will turn your bread into a "hard biscuit" as some have described. That's because they aren't sifting their flour! If you do not have a sifter, use a spoon to spoon the flour into the 1 cup measure. Try it once the "correct" way and you will see an amazing difference in the end product.
• I have had many email from you kind folks about using non-alcoholic beverages instead of beer. That is fine to do but I highly recommend adding a packet of Dry Active Yeast or 2 teaspoons of Bread (Machine) Yeast so that you get a proper rise.
• The final result should be a thick, hearty and very tasteful bread, NOT A BRICK! ;).
• Thank you all for the incredibly nice comments and those of you who left a bad review - learn to sift sift SIFT! You will be amazed at the results you get.

BEER BATTER CHEESE BREAD

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350-F degrees and thoroughly grease the inside (bottom and all four sides) of a single loaf pan. Reserve.
• In a large mixing bowl, sift flour and sugar together. Add grated cheddar cheese and chopped green onions. Thoroughly mix all ingredients together. Add beer and stir until the ingredients are uniformly moistened.
• Spoon bread dough mixture into a well-greased loaf pan. Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the loaf is golden brown and emits a hollow sound when tapped. Cool on a wire rack, and store in an airtight container.
• May freeze for up to 90 days. Slice to serve.

BEER BATTER BREAD (ALMOST NO FAT)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degF.
• Spray a 9"x5"x3" loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray, and set aside.
• Sift all dry ingredients into a bowl.
• Add the beer all at once, and mix by hand until just combined.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared pan.
• Good Luck!
• This stuff can be real gooey; smooth it out as best you can, and slam the pan down on the counter two or three times to smooth out the batter.
• Bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• The recipe also says that the top should be light golden, but do not count on this.
• After cooking, this bread may still look kind of anemic, real pale, kinda raw!
• Especially if you are using a light colored beer!
• BUT, if the toothpick says it's done, it's really done!
• Turn out onto a rack to cool.
• Eat it as soon as it is cool enough to touch, or let it cool to room temperature and wrap to eat a little later, or wrap real good and freeze for up to a month.
• If refrigerated or frozen, bring to room temperature or warm before serving.
• It's great fresh from the oven, and it makes wonderful toast.
• Notes& Comments:.
• *This recipe makes an extremely dense, heavy bread with a crunchy crust.
• It's great!
• I like it as is!
• But, as noted above, it does look a little anemic.
• *You might want to replace up to half of the white flour with whole-wheat flour to darken the loaf.
• Also, a darker beer will make a darker loaf.
• Works great with Guinness!
• *You might also want to experiment with other beers, for different flavors and different degrees of richness.
• Obviously, the only ingredient in this recipe that will change the overall flavor is the beer.
• Enjoy!
• *We have also doubled the recipe, using 1 bottle of Guinness and 1 bottle of Bass, with 4 cups unbleached flour and 2 cup whole wheat flour; obviously this makes 2 loaves.
