Made my L.A. Times California cookbook's recipe for Beer Bread. Put a cast iron skillet of boiling water on the bottom rack to make lots of steam and the crust was so thick and crunchy! Yummy with a big bowl of chicken, vegetables, and rice soup!

Oh golly! I 'm starved now that I saw those sticky buns! Yummo!

The power was out for 2 days here. We have a cookstove, so were able to cook meals and have hot water for cleanup. I didn't bake a thing though, but pulled a loaf of homemade sourdough out of the freezer.

Sandee, this is super-duper easy. It is a wonderful bread to make when you have a pot of something or other on the stove and not enough time to wait for a yeast bread to rise...etc...

The recipe calls for self rising flour, but I never have that on hand....so I just add baking powder and salt. The substitution would be 1.5 tsp baking powder and 1 tsp salt per 1 cup of flour.

Here it is the way it is written in the cookbook:

BEER BREAD

3 cups Self Rising Flour
2 tbs Sugar-I always add a bit more sugar. I usually double the recipe and increase the sugar to about 1/4 cup. I think it helps to brown the crust better.
1 (12 oz) Bottle of Beer-I use some sort of Mexican beer. (Corona, Dos Equis, Modelo Negro)
1/2 cup Butter, melted

Mix the flour and sugar together using a wooden spoon and blend in the beer one third of the bottle at a time. Turn the batter into three (6 x3 inch) loaf pans or two regular size loaf pans. (It doesn't say to grease the pans, but I think I would.) I use my baking stone and make a huge round loaf. Drizzle butter over the top of the batter and bake at 350 degrees for approx 50 minutes.

I love bread with thick crusts, so I put a cast iron skillet with hot water on the bottom rack when I preheat the oven. It will begin to boil and make steam. When you put your bread into the oven do not open the door for the first 10 minutes, if you feel you must open it at all, before the timer goes off. That being said, I always set my timer for 10 minutes sooner than the recipe calls for, since it is a lot easier to add cooking time than take it off....LOL

Let me know if there is anything that is not clear in what I wrote. I hope you like it. When I make this bread there is NEVER any leftover for the next day.

I made pizza dough in the bread machine for the first time last night. I made stromboli out of it. I will never buy pizza dough again. It was so easy!
