It’s time for some fall cookin’ y’all! A few “must-makes” on my list? Homemade Chilli, warm tomato soup…but after a weekend of watching college and NFL football, I opened my fridge to find bottles of beer left behind by my Romeo and friends. Obviously, I wanted to put a few to good use! Why not? So, I decided to make this incredibly easy and delicious recipe…Boyfriend’s Beer Bread.
There are barely any ingredients needed for this recipe: sugar, flour, beer & butter. It only takes 5 minutes to whip up so you can have fresh homemade bread in less than an hour. Who knew that making bread was so simple…and fun?
Perfect with soup, this bread is also amazing toasted and drizzled with a little honey. This Just Bee Select honey is made in Nashville, and is one of my absolute favorites, but you can use any honey you have in your cupboard. Did you know that if you eat honey that is made 20 miles from your home that it will cure any allergies you may have? Click here to learn more about it. I’m not telling any tales!
Because of my overload of beer, I decided to make two breads…my basic recipe {a great compliment to chilli!} and a variation of the same recipe with cheddar cheese and dill {it tastes delicious with tomato soup!}.
Making Boyfriend’s Beer Bread is so much fun! My favorite part is when you mix all of the ingredients together…a bit of fizz appears in the batch!
I decided to spruce up one of the batches with a cool specialty beer…it honestly tasted awful. Definitely stick to a good ole Coors Light or any other regular American beer for your future batches!
