EASY BEER BREAD WITH SELF RISING FLOUR RECIPES

Steps:

• Dump the whole packet of flour into a mixing bowl.
• Drain the can of corn, mash them in a bowl, then mix them into the flour
• Add half of beer – it should be room temperature, and mix, then continue adding slowly – you don’t want the dough to get too sloppy.
• Once combined, stop, as you don’t want to overmix.
• Scrape the mix into the pre-warmed Dutch oven or into a loaf pan and bake for an hour.
• Leave to cool in the Dutch oven or loaf pan for 20 minutes or so before turning out. The loaf is ready when a skewer inserted into the loaf comes out clean.

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! ;).
