Good Day and welcome to Good Cheer.

Like a lot of you, I turned to the web when the lockdowns came. How could I keep doing some of the things I love like making short films, beer, cooking and comedy and turn them into something useful?

Not all the videos I have made succeed but this one is definitely a stronger candidate and is a fun, simple easy recipe worth trying out.

Supplies

Ingredients: Flour, Sugar, Salt, Melted Butter, Beer of your choice.

Loaf pan, parchment paper, bowl, oven.

Step 1: Ingredients/measurements

First, preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

Now get your ingredients together.

3 cups of self-raising flour

3 Tbsp of sugar (or you can use honey if you prefer)

355 ml of room temp. beer. (Choose wisely here as this really informs the taste of the loaf. I used a 11.9% stout from one of my local breweries. And it aged better but the first night was a little much. I find something with a big taste in the range of 6-9% ABV works best although IPA's tends to make it a tad bitter.)

1/3 cup of melted butter

and,

a second 1/3 cup of melted butter

1 tsp. salt.

Step 2: Mixing Steps

Add the flour, sugar and salt to the bowl and whisk together.

Then add your beer of choice.

Now toss in the first 1/3 cup of melted butter and stir together but don’t over do it or the bread could come out overly dense.

Step 3: Pan It Up and Bake It in the Oven

Take a loaf pan, line it with parchment paper. This will help make it easier to just pop it out of the pan when it is done, and makes cleaning a touch easier as well!

Dump the entire mix into the pan.

Drizzle the remaining 1/3 cup of melted butter over the top.

Bake for 45-60 minutes, depends on your oven, but basically until it’s done.
