- 3 Cups Self Rising Flour
- 3 Tbsp Sugar
- 12 Ounces Good quality beer
Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix flour and sugar in a mixing bowl, then add beer and continue mixing. Use a wooden spoon lightly sprayed with cooking spray, the batter is sticky. Mix until all the flour and beer is incorporated.
Grease the sides and bottom of a standard 9" x 5" loaf pan. Pour bread dough into pan and roughly level it.
Dust the top of the loaf with some extra sugar if you wish, then bake at 350 F for 50-60 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the loaf, if it comes out clean the loaf is done.
Let bread cool on a rack for ten minutes before removing it from the loaf pan, let the loaf cool on the rack for another hour or serve it warm.
Make sure you use a decent quality beer, one you would enjoy drinking. Also do not use light beer or low calorie beer, the bread flavor will suffer. You can make this with ale for a different flavor, but a decent drinking beer does best.
If you do not have self rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 Tsp of baking soda and 1/2 Tsp of salt for each cup of all purpose flour.
