guinness cheddar bread

top of the mornin’ to you.  It’s St. Patrick’s Day this weekend and in honor of the holiday I have taken it upon myself to make and taste a beer bread that is worthy of celebrating.  I had no idea how easy beer bread is and how darn tasty it can be.  Please don’t worry, no pints of Guinness were harmed during these trials.  Just a few were consumed all in the name of the job.  It’s hard work this food blogging.

what you need:

3 cups flour sifted

3 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup sugar

1 bottle of Guinness (poured into a glass)

2 cups shredded irish cheddar cheese

1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter

what to do:

preheat oven to 375

sift flour (this is essential!) and mix with other dry ingredients

add the beer (make sure you pour the Guinness into a glass first)

stir thoroughly

add cheese and mix together (I used my hands to do this)

put into a greased loaf pan

pour melted butter over bread dough

bake for 50-60 minutes, until golden brown.

cool for at least 15 minutes

serve and enjoy.
