Happy Irish Beer BreadJolinda Hackett
I call this recipe "happy" because it calls for just a bit under 12 oz of beer, meaning you need to take a sip before using. Careful- just a taste!

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 12 oz stout beer (take a small sip first, otherwise, there's just a bit too much!)

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients and mix well. Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes at 350 degrees. It couldn't be easier!
