Original Beer Bread Mix is Vegan (use vegan beer) & Dairy free (just miss out pouring melted butter on top or use dairy free alternative). To freeze the bread, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then again in aluminum foil, and store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw on the counter overnight.

Early bread and beer have exactly the same ingredients – water and cereal. The only difference was that the cereal was ground for bread. The yeast that makes bread rise and beer alcoholic entered the equation by accident; the mixtures were left open to the air, and wild yeasts on the wind got in. The yeast eats the sugars and multiplies (hence the rising) and produces alcohol. Sharp minds among you might ask why, then, isn’t bread alcoholic? That’s because it’s cooked off when it’s baked. Sadly. Add 1 can (355mL/1 and ½ cups) of beer at room temperature to the Beer Bread Mix and stir just until combined.Use a beer that you enjoy. Light beer is fine, non-alcoholic beer is fine, and a darker, more robust beer works well if you like a more prominently flavored bread. As with all beer recipes, you’ve got to begin with the beer and build up – after all, great food starts with great ingredients. There are two choices with bread; a nice malty bitter like Adnams’ or something super hoppy like a Brewdog Punk IPA or St Austell’s Proper Job – it’s not for everyone but you can really taste the hops.

Optional– if you like you can add in some optional flavourings like some grated mature cheddar cheese, garlic powder, dried herbs. Use what you have. A tablespoon of Marmite will also add a nice savoury flavour. Sweet: Double the honey in this recipe to ½ cup. You can also mix in raisins, dried currants, or dried cranberries for a loaf that’s similar to Irish soda bread. Beer Can: Go with your favorite or try something new. The main reason for the beer is not for flavoring but for creating a yeast with the baking powder.

There was a problem

Substitute: If you are worried about too much sugar, substitute the sugar with the same amount of honey. You would say this recipe is pretty easy! All the ingredients are staple pantry items plus only 6 ingredients. It is crazy to think that these ingredients are going to make such a soft and moist bread recipe. Within a few minutes this homemade bread recipe will be ready to bake and smell all throughout your home. Enjoy a warm slice of bread soon enough! Most of the alcohol in the beer will evaporate during baking, so you don’t need to worry too much about the alcohol content and feeding your family, especially if you are only having one or two small slices each. Honey: A touch of honey creates a sweeter bread that is comforting and will melt in your mouth, it is that good!
