I don't know why it took me so long to combine two of my favorite things, but here it is at last.. beer bread!! This was the first attempt of my own recipe and I must say it came out pretty damn good! I wish this forum had smell-o-vision!
God dammit!
These are just the times when I really wish I wouldn't have coeliac disease...
Looks awesome. How about posting your recipe?
Sounds like good old fashioned Aussie Damper to me!
Beer Damper
4 cups of self-raising flour
a pinch of salt
50 grams of butter – melted
1 stubby of beer
1 bread tin
God dammit!

You should write a book called "How To Gain 100 Pounds a Day".
:rof: I really need to grow a full goatee and do a side by side pic with Howie.
I've been experimenting with pizza crusts for the last four days, I'm gonna try this as a crust. The best topping combo of the weekend: pancetta, artichoke hearts, carmelized onions, and smoked gouda (gouda is NOT a melting cheese, you need to put it on the pie as it comes out of the oven).Sure! Here you go:
1 cup of bread flour
2 cups of all purpose flour
1 tablespoon of baking powder
1/3 cup of sugar
3/4 teaspoon of salt
12oz of beer (just remember that beer flavor will come through quite strong, so the bread WILL taste much like the beer you choose)
2 tablespoons of melted butter
Preheat oven to 375. Butter bread tin and set aside.
Sift dry ingredients into a large bowl. Pour beer over dry mixture and mix to combine. Pour batter into tin and place in the oven on middle rack. Bake for 52 minutes. Remove from oven, brush the top thoroughly with melted butter and place back in the oven for 3 more minutes.
Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes before removing from tin. Enjoy!
By the way, this is quite different from Irish soda bread. ISB is very light and airy, which is not a bad thing, but I love heavy hearty bread which is what you'll get if you use my recipe
God dammit!

Erci I bought the same knife set a few months back, how do you like the bread knife?
