Beer Bread Mixes

For Beer Bread:

Stir in 12 ounces of beer or club soda into a bowl with the mix. Stir just till blended, place into a 1 1/2 pound loaf pan. Pour 1/2 cup of melted butter on top(if desired, for low fat omit).

Bake at 350 degrees for approximately an hour.

Recipes and Suggestions:

Easy Bread sticks:

Mix bread, for instance Italian Herb and Cheese, spread on a cookie sheet, I like to make the indentions defining the lines of the breadsticks on the dough before baking, I then sprinkle parmesan and grated mozzarella cheese on top and bake, basting with melted butter before putting the cheese on only makes it better.

Easy Bread Bowl for Dips or Soups:

Mix beer bread according to directions, place mixture in a round cake pan mounding the center, bake according to directions, when done(toothpick inserted comes out clean) place on a rack to cool.

When cool slice the top off and remove, cut a circle about 1 1/2 inches from the side. Hollow out the center to 1 1/2 inches from the bottom. Baste the inside and outside with butter or olive oil, place back in a 350 degree oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes till starting to brown. Cool and ready to serve.

The photo at the right shows the individual beer bread bowl, made with mammoth muffin tins, one package of beer bread mix makes 6. You can find the tins at Walmart. The beer breads shown are cheddar jalapeno beer bread with jalapeno dip, the lighter colored bowls are plain beer bread. These can be used as appetizers for dips, soups or salads(what about ham or chicken salad?).

Easy Pizza Crust:

Spread bread mixture on a pizza pan to cover pan, then place pizza sauce, meat and vegies and cheese on top. Bake till bread and toppings are cooked and cheese is melted. Approximately 25 to 30 minutes.

When baking your bread, add cheese about 10 minutes before taking it out of the oven, for instance, Italian herb and cheese, mozzarella and parmesan, or Cheddar Bacon or Cheddar Jalapeno with grated Cheddar on top.

Note:

You can make beer bread in the bread machine. Mix beer bread mix with 12 ounce beer or club soda in a bowl, remove paddle from machine, when it beats the mix, it removes the gases that help the bread to rise. I add 1 stick of softened margarine to the mixture, mix only till moistened and blended. Place in bread pan for bread machine and program the machine for quick bread and start. So easy and comes out moist.
