Beer-Batter Cheese Bread

This is one of my favorite go to recipies for a quick easy bread. The ingredients are usually all in the cupboard or fridge and it only uses one bowl while making- easy cleanup! I actually got started on this bread by going to a Tastefully Simple party and ended up buying an overpriced mix to make this. I looked in my trusty Cooks Country cookbook and found this recipie. It is the exact same I swear. It is super delicious-hope you enjoy it.

Beer-Batter Cheese Bread

1 cup shredded cheese of your choice (Use a block of cheese and shread it yourself people)

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

3 Tablespoons white sugar

4 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1 1/4 cups of a light bodied beer (Budweiser, Budlight, Busch light, etc...)

3 Tablespoons of melted butter for dough

1 Tablespoon of melted butter for on the top

First, preheat the oven to 375 degrees and grease your loaf pan.

Combine in a bowl the shredded cheese, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Give it a good stir. Pour the beer into a measuring cup and wait for the foam to go down so the measurement can be accurate.

Dump in the beer and 3 Tablespoons of melted butter. Stir until it is well combined.

Put the batter into the greased loaf pan and even out the batter with a spatula. Get another Tablespoon of butter and melt it down then pour over top.

Put it into the oven and bake for a total of 40 to 45 min depending on your oven. A toothpick should be inserted and come out clean, that is when you will know it is done. About 20 minutes into the cooking I like to rotate the pan so it bakes evenly. After it is done make sure to cool it and keep it in an airtight container. This bread is excellent served a little warm.
