Beer Bread



Mandy was a little bored the other night, so she decided she was going to bake some bread. She found a "beer bread" recipe online and wanted to give it a shot. I'm not sure what exactly was in it besides a bottle of Sam Adams lager.

It came out pretty dense (I guess that's what happens when there's no yeast involved). The bread smelled like beer. It also had this weird bitter aftertaste which is attributable to the hops in the beer. I'm guessing something lighter, like a hefeweizen or fruit beer or something would work better and not impart the same bitterness. It really just made me want some irish soda bread.

After two days on the counter, we still haven't had any more slices since that first night. So yeah. You be the judge.
