Herbed Beer Bread

February 15, 2008  |  recipes

A simple bread recipe that every beginning cook should have in their repertoire: add or subtract the herbs to suit your tastes and menu. It is delicious with roasted meats, and toasted with butter and honey as well. Try preparing it in 12 muffin tins, baking for a total of 30-35 minutes: more of the buttery crust to go around! 3 cups self-rising flour 3 tablespoons sugar 1 can beer 4 tablespoons butter 3 teaspoons herbs (parsley, summer savory, thyme) Add beer slowly to dry ingredients and mix to combine. The dough will be very sticky. Spread into greased, parchment lined loaf pan. Bake for 45 minutes in 350* oven. Pour melted butter over top and bake 15 minutes more. This is a very moist bread: allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
