Beer Bread

Ingredients:

3 cups all purpose flour

1 Tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

¼ cup brown sugar

1 (12 oz) warm beer (I prefer a darker beer for this)

½ cup butter, melted

Optional: salt and italian seasonings

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Grease a loaf pan. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.  Stir in brown sugar.  Pour beer over flour mixture and stir to combine.  Pour into loaf pan.  (This will be thick- not a liquid batter). Pour butter over bread mixture.  I usually sprinkle top with sea salt and Italian seasonings.  Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour.
