"The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing; but in our culture, we apply for a curse and reject blessings. Something is wrong with this picture." ~ Doug Phillips

Beer Bread...



Yummm!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wilfred was glad to come home from a day at work to find this loaf of bread baking in the oven. I found this recipe on Farmgirl Fare's blog. (http://foodiefarmgirl.blogspot.com) I am going to include the recipe here. I left out the dill and just made it with cheddar cheese. It was scrumptious! Thanks Farmgirl Susan for the great recipe and blog!


Farmgirl Susan's Beyond Easy Dill & Cheddar Beer Bread Recipe

Makes One LoafThe optional egg glaze gives the top a beautiful, dark golden color. As always, I encourage you to use locally produced and/or organic ingredients whenever possible.

Basic Beer Bread Mix:

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 Tablespoon granulated sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 Tablespoon baking powder (make sure it's fresh!)

2 Tablespoons chopped fresh dill (or 2 teaspoons dried)

1 cup finely grated sharp cheddar cheese

12 ounces beer

Optional glaze: 1 egg & 2 teaspoons water, beaten

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, dill, and cheddar in a large mixing bowl. Slowly stir in beer and mix just until combined. Batter will be thick. Spread in a greased 8-inch loaf pan, brush with egg glaze if desired, and bake until golden brown and a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.Cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool 10 more minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
