This is ridiculously easy; it turns out perfectly every time. No kneading, no rising, no fuss! Don't worry, alcohol evaporates during baking.
Ingredients
3 cups wheat flour (all-purpose or plain)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
juice of one lemon or 2 tsp of apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
12 ounces of beer (Don't use light beer or gluten free beer, please.)
Optional: herbs, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, flax seeds
3 cups wheat flour (all-purpose or plain)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
juice of one lemon or 2 tsp of apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
12 ounces of beer (Don't use light beer or gluten free beer, please.)
Optional: herbs, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, flax seeds
Steps
- Stir together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Add any seeds, herbs, etc. at this time.
- Pour the beer into a glass or separate bowl and let the foam subside to get your measurement. Add the lemon juice or vinegar to the beer and give it a stir. Pour the beer into the flour mixture, not your mouth!
- Stir until just blended, then spoon batter into a loaf pan that has been buttered and dusted with flour.
- Bake at 375° F for 45 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean.
- Let sit for about 10 minutes, then run a knife along the edges of loaf pan.
- Invert onto a rack to cool.
