Directions:

Prep Time: 3 mins
Total Time: 1 hr

1. 1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. 2 Mix dry ingredients and beer.
3. 3 Pour into a greased loaf pan.
4. 4 Pour melted butter over mixture.
5. 5 Bake 1 hour, remove from pan and cool for at least 15 minutes.
6. 6 UPDATED NOTES: This recipe makes a very hearty bread with a crunchy, buttery crust. If you prefer a softer crust (like a traditional bread) mix the butter into the batter instead of pouring it over the top.
7. 7 Sifting flour for bread recipes is a must-do. Most people just scoop the 1 cup measure in the flour canister and level it off. That compacts the flour and will turn your bread into a "hard biscuit" as some have described. That's because they aren't sifting their flour! If you do not have a sifter, use a spoon to spoon the flour into the 1 cup measure. Try it once the "correct" way and you will see an amazing difference in the end product.
8. 8 I have had many email from you kind folks about using non-alcoholic beverages instead of beer. That is fine to do but I highly recommend adding a packet of Dry Active Yeast or 2 teaspoons of Bread (Machine) Yeast so that you get a proper rise.
9. 9 The final result should be a thick, hearty and very tasteful bread, NOT A BRICK! ;).
10. 10 Thank you all for the incredibly nice comments and those of you who left a bad review - learn to sift sift SIFT! You will be amazed at the results you get.

New Things

So recently i was given the recipe for Disney Cornbread muffins. Sadly the recipe given to me makes 120 muffins. I gave it to Erin and she going to try and make the recipe smaller.
Lately I have been very busy with school and everything. I do have new recipes I want to post it is just finding the time. But i have a feeling that once summer hits and things die down more recipes will be up. I hope everyone is happy and healthy>
