This month's Bread Bible recipe is
for Rose's Beer Bread.
I really can't stand beer; the taste, the smell,
the fumes at twenty paces.
So when I asked the gal at Trader Joe's
which beer was less like beer,
she excitedly said
I was a bit confused but she assured me
it was indeed real beer..
With 5.9% alcohol content
it qualified.
So I bought a bottle for my
daughter and I to make the beer bread.
It was an easy dough to mix up with
very few ingredients.
I followed Kim's advice and checked it early.
It baked fifteen minutes less than
called for and still was over done.
The rootbeer beer gave it a slightly
sweet flavor that lends very well with
different jams.

Looks like it has a nice crust. Interesting about the Root Beer being actual beer - I thought it was a soft drink. Maybe that's why it's called 'not your father's'?
ReplyDeleteOoo wonder if we have alcoholic root beer here? I'll ask when I do the "buy something for Christmas thing". The taste being a 'slightly sweet flavour' sounds good and it does look like a nice crust :)
ReplyDeleteReally? I also thought root beer is a soft drink too! So far the root beer I have tasted all taste like soft drinks to me. I wonder how your bread taste like with root beer. Your bread crumbs looks great!
