Beyond Easy Beer Bread Recipe: A Warm Crusty Loaf in Under an Hour That said, why not make up a few batches of your own signature homemade beer bread mix to give as gifts?

Include baking instructions written or printed out on a simple card; all they have to do is stir a 12-ounce bottle of beer into the mix, spread it in a pan, and pop it in the oven.

Honey Beer Bread Recipe There are few things that bring me more satisfaction in the kitchen than pulling a warm, fresh loaf of bread from the oven. Most of the time, I make yeast-based breads, but I have also become quite fond of a number of quick breads that have secured themselves a permanent home in my recipe collection. One recipe that I’ve been dying to make for the longest time is a quintessential beer bread. In the past, I’ve made an Irish beer and cheese bread, as well as another beer and cheese bread with a long list of ingredients. While both were fabulous in every possible way, I’ve been looking for a straightforward, simple beer bread recipe. No frills, no excessive ingredient lists… just one bowl, a few ingredients, and done. While the bread itself is fabulous, the best part might be the buttery crust. If you have 5 minutes to spare, you can get this bread into the oven. One year ago: Italian Easter BreadTwo years ago: Peanut Butter Snickers Cookies
Homemade Soft Pretzels Recipe : Alton Brown Directions Watch how to make this recipe. Combine the water, sugar and kosher salt in the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle the yeast on top. Allow to sit for 5 minutes or until the mixture begins to foam. Add the flour and butter and, using the dough hook attachment, mix on low speed until well combined. Change to medium speed and knead until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the side of the bowl, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Bring the 10 cups of water and the baking soda to a rolling boil in an 8-quart saucepan or roasting pan. In the meantime, turn the dough out onto a slightly oiled work surface and divide into 8 equal pieces. Place the pretzels into the boiling water, 1 by 1, for 30 seconds.

Peasant Bread This Peasant Bread is a simple to make, no-knead recipe for the BEST bread ever! You know those recipes you have that you’ve been making for years and everyone in the family loves? This bread is one of those. I remember several years ago, I was invited to a friend’s home for lunch. It was a very casual lunch. I brought my kids, who played out back, while we sat down at my friend’s gorgeous dining room table to eat. She disappears into her kitchen and comes back out holding a tray with the most amazing loaves of bread you’ve ever seen. I’m honestly, practically salivating all over her nice table cloth at this point. Ripping into the bread and dipping into the olive oil, I eat so much bread that I don’t have room for the main course! I ask her where she bought this glorious bread from. I practically fall off my chair. Oh yeah. This is now one of our very, very favorite bread recipes in the history of all bread recipes. I made this the other day right before my boys came home from school.
