Tuesdays at the Table - Beer Bread

Happy Tuesday!  Fall starts this week.  How did that happen?!  Luckily, it's my favorite season (even if I would happily boycott all things pumpkin spice flavored...), full of apple picking, baking, crisp sunny days, leaf-peeping and other really fun stuff!

This week I'm sharing my beer bread.  While it tastes good on its own - I love to cut it into hunks and eat it with a little veggie or onion dip.  So good!

Beer Bread
3 cups flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

3 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 bottle (12 ounces) beer, at room temperature {the darker the beer, the better!}

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Brush the bottom and sides of your loaf pan with melted butter.  In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Add the beer all at once, mixing as little as possible; the batter should be lumpy. 

Pour the batter into a 9-x-5-x-3-inch loaf pan and brush with the melted butter. Bake in the oven at 375 for 35 to 40 minutes, or until an toothpick comes out clean. Turn out onto a rack to cool.
