So in honor of Super Bowl Sunday, I decided to whip up some Beer Bread! I found 2 great recipes online and lets see which is better!
Who will win the Super Bowl Bake-off?
(If I was cleaver, I would of used Sam Adams & Brooklyn Brewery Beer.)
Oh well!

First we have, Mom’s Classic Beer Bread!
Ingredients:
3 Cup Self-rising flour
3 TBSP sugar
12 Oz  Yards Brewery Brawler (or any beer of your liking) @ room temp.
1/2 Cup Melted butter

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9x 5″ loaf pan with cooking spray.
2. Stir together the flour and sugar.
3. Add the beer and stir until combined.
4. Spoon into prepared loaf pan, and bake 1 hour.
5. Remove immediately from pan and place on a cooling rack over a cookie sheet.
6. Pour melted butter on top of the bread, letting it drip down the sides.

And in the other corner is Beer Bread!
Ingredients:
3 Cups bread flour
3 Tsp Baking powder
3/4 Tsp Salt
3/4 Tsp Baking soda
1/4 Cup Sugar
12 Oz Beer; any kind – I used Murphy’s Stout, on the idea of Guinness
1/2 Cup Butter; melted

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease on 8 X 5 inch loaf pan.
2. Place dry ingredients in a food-processor bowl or mixer and mix thoroughly (I used a hand mixer and it worked just fine).
Note: don’t over mix. Don’t mix out all the bubbles and the bread won’t rise!
3.  Add in the beer and mix until smooth.
4. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and top with melted butter.
5. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes.
Note: You may want to put some kind of pan or cookie sheet below the                            baking bread, because the butter tends to dribble out of the loaf pan.

I used beer I had, I chose a different beer to use per recipe. Rule of thumb, always use a beer you like the taste of to cook or bake with, if you won’t drink it, you won’t like to eat it! Due to the different flour uses they come out quite different looking! But they are both winners in my book!

Go Pats!
