I was in cooking overload mode on Sunday. I had some baby-free time on my hands, and wanted ot make sure we had something to eat in the fridge, in case of emergency hunger.
I made vegetarian chili, a pot roast in the crock pot, and if that wasn't enough I decided to make bread from scratch. Since it was about 8 p.m. when the desire to make bread hit me, I didn't have the luxury of making something fancy.
So, I made beer bread. The only problem was that the only beer we have in the house is a case of Miller High Life. What can I say, we're classy. Although Miller High Life is the hipster beer of choice at the old Rock n Roll clubs we frequented in New Orleans.
Here is the recipe I used to make quick, easy whole wheat Miller High Life bread.
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 12-fl. oz can of Miller High Life
Lightly grease a 9 x 5 bread pan. Preheat the over to 350 degrees.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour,
baking powder, salt and brown sugar. Pour in beer, stir until batter is stiff. Scrape dough into loaf pan.
- Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean.
And you know, the bread isn't half bad. I wonder what it would taste like if I made it with Schlitz...
