- Beer bread
Beer bread is a very simple bread based on the idea that both
beer andbread have a common creation process:yeast is used to turnsugar intoalcohol , which in the case of bread then boils off.Beer bread can be simply made with
flour , beer, and sugar. However, it will be fairly dense and heavy unless an additionalleavening agent , e.g. baking soda or yeast and sugar, is added. Self-rising flour may be used because it is a mixture of flour and leavening agent. Beer bread without a leavening agent is very sturdy and tends not to lose moisture if it is overcooked. The only consequence of overcooking tends to be a thicker crust.Different types of beer bread can be made by using different beers, a stout or dark beer will give a darker bread with a heavier flavor. Using a beer that is spiced, or has a flavor added will make a bread with a similar flavor, but less intense than the beer.
