MOM'S GUINNESS BEER BREAD RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Mix well. Place a fat 3 1/2 cups of this mix into a baggie or jar to save for another day. To the remaining fat 3 1/2 cups flour mixture, toss in the caraway seeds, pecan pieces and mix. Add the Guinness. Stir with a fork or sturdy spatula until combined. Turn the lumpy dough into a buttered loaf pan. Pour melted butter over top of loaf. Bake until golden brown, about 45-60 minutes. Transfer to a wire 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.

MOM'S BEER-BATTERED CHEESE BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• 2. Combine shredded and cubed cheese, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and pepper in large bowl. Stir in beer and mix until well combined. Pour into loaf pan, spreading batter to corners. Drizzle melted butter evenly over top of batter.
• 3. Bake until deep golden brown and toothpick inserted into center of loaf comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool bread in pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto rack.
