Dutch Oven Beer Bread
Beer Bread in the Dutch Oven, who doesnt like the smell of fresh baked bread! Again made with simple staple ingredients that can be used in several different meals. Beer bread is the easiest bread I have ever made. Whats really cool is that by using different seasoning and ingredients you can make any type of bread you like.
All you need is 4 ingredients to make your first bread, Self-rising flour, sugar, salt and a very cheep beer. You can and I do add other ingredients to and some zip to the bread but it really is quite good with just the basics. It has sort of a sourdough smell to it, you might say it's a hearty bread also. There is no kneading, no bread machines, no rolling pins, no rising and it take no time to make. So lets get making!
Ingredients
- 3 cups self rising flour
- 3 tbs sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 can very cheep beer (light)
Preperation
Mix all of the dry ingredients together. Pour the whole can of beer in. The take your hand and mix it all up. You have a moist blob of flour when your done. Don't go adding more flour, it's supposed to be a wet glob!
Now dump this blob into a well greased 10″ Dutch oven. Bake for 35 -40 minutes.
When it's done (use your nose) take the loaf out and give the bottom a good rap with one of your knuckles. It should go “thump”, that means it is really done.
Set it aside to cool for as long as you can stand it. Slice, add some butter – just try and have just one!
