Notes
- Regardless of what beer you use (because you can use any kind), this bread is easy to make and easy to eat.
- Store this bread wrapped well in plastic or in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
Variations
- Add 1 teaspoon dried herbs to the batter! I think this would be great with thyme or rosemary or Italian seasoning.
- Use honey, maple, or agave syrup in place of the brown sugar
- Add garlic to the batter: 2-3 cloves minced or 1/2 teaspoon powder.
- Add cheese: white cheddar cheese would be fantastic! Stir it in after adding the beer.
