Irish Beer Bread
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
12 ounces room temperature beer (The better the beer, the better the bread. I like using a lighter beer in this recipe, like Harp over Guinness.)
1 tablespoon salted butter, melted
Jane’s Krazy Mixed-Up Salt (optional)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375º F degrees.
Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Slowly add beer. Mix together until just incorporated.
Place into prepared loaf pan and bake for 35 minutes.
Melt 2 tablespoons of salted butter in the microwave. Using a pastry brush, carefully brush the melted butter all over the exposed parts of the bread. Generously sprinkle Jane’s Krazy Mixed-Up Salt on top and bake for 10 more minutes.
Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Then remove bread from loaf pan and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
