Miller High Life beer bread

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.

1. 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.
   
2. 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...
