Bread Mix Classic Beer

Classic Beer Bread is a simple yet flavorful bread that captures the essence of traditional, home-baked goodness with a twist. Made with just a few basic ingredients, the addition of beer transforms this loaf into something extraordinary. The beer imparts a subtle, malty flavor and a light, airy texture, while the natural yeast in the beer helps the bread rise, giving it a tender crumb. The crust bakes to a beautiful golden-brown, offering a slight crunch that contrasts perfectly with the soft interior. This versatile bread is slightly sweet with a mild tang, making it an ideal accompaniment to soups, stews, or enjoyed warm with a generous spread of butter. Ingredients Ingredients: enriched flour (bleached wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, enzyme, folic acid), sugar, leavening (sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate, corn starch, monocalcium phosphate), salt, spices (including paprika, turmeric), onion, corn starch, garlic, natural flavors and extractives of paprika. Contains: wheat Directions Ingredients needed: ★ Classic Beer Bread Mix (with included leavening packet) ★ 12 oz. beer or club soda, room temperature (dark beer will have a nuttier taste) ★ 1/4 cup butter, melted Optional: 1/2 cup shredded cheese (i.e., Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Parmesan) Directions: Preheat oven to 350°. Grease 9x5-inch loaf pan. Combine Classic Beer Bread Mix and contents of leavening packet in a large bowl. Stir dry mix together thoroughly with a fork, then add beer. Optional: add shredded cheese. Mix well until blended. Do not eat raw, unbaked batter. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Pour melted butter evenly over batter. Allow to set in pan for 15 minutes before baking. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes until bread lightly springs back to touch. Bread must be baked thoroughly, until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. If cheese or additional ingredients are added, increase baking by 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool on a wire rack. Tightly wrap with plastic wrap. Bread may be served after baking, but allowing baked bread to sit overnight intensifies flavor. Sliced bread may be toasted. You may need to alter liquid amounts for high altitude cooking.
