Food Friday - Beer Bread

C'mon. Admit it. You actually missed seeing Food Friday here.

If you don't drink beer, and bought some to serve for company. You may wonder what to do with the remaining bottle or too left behind. Well, you could hold onto it and invite them over again, or try to force them to take the beer with them. Another solution? Make beer bread. I used an old (sacrilege) bottle of beer for this recipe. It was easy to make. I've only tried making bread a few times, and each was an utter failure. I was pleased with this one.

You need:
3 and 1/2 cups flour
3 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 and 1/2 tsp salt
12 ounces of beer
1 egg

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Beat the egg and keep separate for now. Mix first four ingredients in a bowl. Then mix in the beer. Put dough on floured surface and knead for a bit, then form it into a ball. Place this unto a baking sheet. Carve an "X" into the top and then brush the beaten egg over the top of this. Place in oven for about 45 minutes and then remove and let it cool on a wire rack. Warm bread. Yum.
