super lazy eats: beer bread

September 25, 2013

It was first through my relationship with Sean that I heard of beer bread, and only through this relationship that I tried it. I've never cared for beer, so the thought of baking it into bread?  No, thanks. Still, I baked him a loaf. And I gave it a try... yum!

I never would have thought to share this recipe, but Sean and I found ourselves at a pumpkin beer tasting . We grabbed a six pack—some of it went to share at the tasting, and some of it went into the beer bread to be shared among the guests.

Somewhere during the evening, this happened:

Guest: Did you make this?
Me: Yeah.
Guest: It's really good.
Me: Thanks. I wasn't sure how it would taste with pumpkin beer.
Guest: It's good. I have some beer bread mix at home, and I should make it, but I'm scared I'll ruin it with the wrong beer.

At this point, Sean interjected, assuring her that the beer doesn't really matter (although we do enjoy experimenting, Sean's mom has made the stuff with beers he hates and he still likes the bread!). At this point though, I realized something. Two somethings:

1. There are people who think beer bread comes in a box like cake mix.
2. There are people who think making beer bread is difficult.

Top: Pumpkin IPA Bottom: Pale Ale. Different looks, delicious taste. Use whatever beer you like!

While #1 is technically true, you are getting ripped off if you are buying beer bread mix. Beer bread contains three ingredients, and there's a good chance at least two of them are in your home at any given time. That should help you see already that #2 is false, and thus, I am posting this super easy, super lazy recipe to save you a few bucks....and so your house can smell of fresh baked bread!

  7. Bear bread is my favorite easy thing that seems so hard. You can add herbs to it too (dill is good, or thyme, or basil--especially lemon basil).
