The last few weeks have been very busy. I was glad this morning when I had a chance to bake something. I decided to try a quick bread. This bread is an adaptation from a honey beer bread recipe. Of course I used some spent grains and the beer involved this time is a Hitachino Nest White clone - which by the way is fabulous! I found this quick bread to be very yummy. It is great by itself, but I am sure it would be great with some butter spread or crumbled into a nice stew or chili.
Butter Beer Bread (yields 1 loaf)
2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
3/4 c. spent grain flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. honey
12 oz. beer
1/4 c. butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a loaf pan and line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper (I actually forgot to grease the pan; however I did line the bottom of the pan - there is plenty of butter being used. I used a stone loaf pan and I really don't think that the parchment paper is necessary).
In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients.
In a small bowl, mix beer and honey together. Add beer mixture to the dry mixture and combine with a wooden spoon.
Pour 1/8 c. of the melted butter in the bottom of the prepared loaf pan. Spoon batter into the pan evenly. Top with the remaining 1/8 c. of melted butter.
Bake in 350F oven for 50-60 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
Cool in pan for 5-10 minutes. Cool for an additional 10 minutes on a wire rack. Serve warm.
Enjoy!
