626. Beer Bread I’ve been trying to bake more bread lately as it’s something that I really haven’t tried enough. I’d heard that beer bread was really easy so I thought it would be a good place to start. Easy is an understatement; this was really beyond simple. You literally mix flour, a little sugar, and beer, put it in a tin and bake it. That’s it. No kneading, no resting, no nothing. It turns out as a dense, cakey sort of bread, and I topped mine with some cheddar and dried wild garlic which countered the hint of sweetness in the bread perfectly. I served mine with sweet potato and sausage soup, and it would be a lovely accompaniment for all kinds of soups and stews. 626 down, 1170 to go
