There is nothing quite like homemade bread. Really. Especially when it is quick and absolutely delicious. I have this horrible habit of having to purchase an almond croissant whenever I see one. Similarly, I must always buy a loaf of rustic bread that looks remotely “European”- looking, whenever I find myself near a “European-esque” cafe/knock off bakery/boulangerie. Pretty contrived and pretentious, if I think about it.
Nonetheless, if you fancy yourself the el-cheapo European you really ought to try my beer bread recipe. It’s brilliant with soup or spectacular on its own, with blue cheese and jam, methinks. Bonne Maman jam, even. Oh la la.
Ingredients:
3 cups of flour
3 tsp of baking powder
1 tsp of salt
⅓ C of sugar
1 can of beer
Mix all of the above ingredients together. No need to knead. This is not some faux European bakery franchise. We ain't got no time fo dat. Instead, biff the mixture into a rectangle tin. Be sure to grease the crap out of it. Really truly. Bake for 50 minutes in a 180 degrees celcius oven. Once out of the oven, smother a thick slice with butter. Oh yeah.
