Easy Beer Bread--1 Hour from Start to Finish

Are you running late and would like to have warm home-baked bread for dinner? You can make this bread in the time it takes to pre-heat the oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes and it's done!

Ingredients:

3 cups self-rising flour*
1/4 cup sugar
12 oz. beer

*If you do not have self-rising flour, you will need to add 1 T. Baking powder and 1 1/2 tsp. salt.

Directions:

Mix ingredients together and place in greased bread pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes. The crust will be hard and the inside soft.

The kind of beer you use will change the flavor, so experiment a bit. I have made this with Mike's Hard Cranberry Lemonade and put 1/2 cup of craisins in it for a sweeter taste. It's really good and so easy to make in a pinch!
