Cheesy Beer Batter Bread
This is a fast recipe that is perfect for those times when you realize you don't have bread in the house. It is a slightly dense loaf that works well with soup, chili, etc. It can be customized in a number of ways - add any variety of cheese and herbs to the dry ingredients before adding the beer. To avoid a bitter aftertaste from the beer, use the lightest bottled brew you can find.
Steps
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Sift together all of the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
Stir in the shredded cheese.
Add the beer all at once , and stir batter until it just comes together.
It will be lumpy.
Do not overmix.
Transfer to a lightly greased 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan and brush top with melted butter.
Bake for 35- 40 minutes , or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Turn out onto a rack , and allow to cool.
