Tastefully Simple Beer Bread

Tastefully Simple Beer Bread

3 c. Flour
1 1/2 tsp. Salt
1 1/2 tbsp. Baking Powder
1/2 c. Sugar
1 can Beer or Soda Water
½ c. shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
2 tbsp. melted butter (optional)

Pre-heat oven to 375. Spray bread pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Mix all dry ingredients in bowl. Add beer or soda water and mix until blended. Add cheese if you choose to do so.

Pour into prepared pan and bake for 30 – 45 minutes. Check at 30 with a toothpick to see if it comes out clean. I pour melted butter over the top of the bread when it first somes out for an over the top treat!
