Quick Beer Soda Bread (Note: This is not sweet bread, this is bread. Don't let the sugar fool you.)
Ingredients:
- 3 cups of flour
- 3 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1½ tsp of salt
- 1 can of beer (12 fl oz)
- 3 tbsp of sugar
- 4 tbsp of butter, melted (put 3 tbsp of butter in a mug, and heat it for a few seconds in the microwave)
- Put oven on 375 degrees.
- Grease a bread pan (or 1-quart souffle dish).
- Combine all the ingredients, apart from the butter. Do not overmix.
- Put in the breadpan, and put the pan in the oven.
- Bake fo 50 minutes. Take out the pan, pour the melted butter on top.
- Put it back in the oven for another 10 minutes and a delicious crust will develop!
- In the book they mention adding 1 tbsp of cinnamon, ½ tsp of nutmeg, ½ cup of chopped walnuts, and using 3 tbsp of brown sugar instead of 3tbsp of white sugar - it tastes amazing, but it is still not "sweet"
- You can also substitute some of the white flour to whole wheat flour (for instance, 2 cups whole wheat, and 1 cup regular and maybe some oats. If you only use whole wheat the bread becomes very dense). This will make it healthier.
- Feel free to be creative!
