Dori's Beer Bread

Homemade beer bread is so easy to make and a perfect accompaniment to stew, soup, chili and more.  It is also perfect on it's own with just a schmear of butter!

     Beer bread is such a delicious quick to make bread.  It only takes a few ingredients to make and you likely have them in you pantry already! It is perfect with a bowl of chili, stew or soup.  Of course a slice with some butter (and possibly honey) is fabulous on its own as well.  Whip some up at a moment's notice.



   This is one of the original recipes that was sent it when I put out that initial call for recipes from family and friends way back when.  Who would have guessed that a quick email like that would have resulted in a blog that is still going strong almost three years later?!

     It has been a wild ride to say the least.  A lot of those early recipes that are the real reason why this blog is here are in need of some updating.

   I hope to work my way back through them as time allows.  When I made the apple pumpkin chili, I knew this beer bread with a hard cider twist would be a perfect side and I was right!

Now back to the original post:

    My husband's Aunt Dori said that beer bread is a favorite of guests at her house.  I have had beer bread before, always made with a lager.

    In fact it was usually made from whatever beer your friends brought over and left behind.  You know, the one you won't drink but you could make bread out of!

   But Dori had a few suggestions, and none of them were that.  She said that dark crafty beers were really good.

    I had always wondered about that, but had been afraid to try it.  She also said that Mark's nieces went crazy over a loaf made with hard cider.

   Hard cider?!  In beer bread?!  Now you have my attention.  I have to try that!

   So, I put that theory to the test and made a loaf to go with our soup for dinner.  You know what?  It is really good!

    Beer bread is a little sweet anyway, so the apple really goes well in the recipe.  We paired the bread with some spicy black bean soup and the sweet was a really nice balance to the heat.
