I am doing a show tonight. The host wants me to do Beer Bread, but I want to add a dip or something to go with it. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks
 
The Southwestern Dip from the seasoning bottle is good with beer bread. So is the dill dip. 1 cup mayo, 1 cup sour cream, 2 TB seasoning (more if desired).

If you're looking for something a little more involved, the Hot Pizza Dip from All the Best is fantastic!
 
I agree with Ann. All of those are good!

Thank you, I had read a thread about the HPD. Just wasn't sure if that would work, thanks Anne your the best....
 
Make the cheesy salsa bread on the side of the box, it's awesome!! :thumbup: :thumbup:
Then make the Southwestern Seasoning dip, or Chipotle Ranch if you don't have any Southwest seasoning.
If you make regular Beer Bread, I would definitely go with the Dill Dip, except I always press 1 garlic clove into mine, too. Yum-O! I Love, Love, LOVE Beer Bread and Dip! :) And so do all of my co-workers, so they get "pampered" often!
 
Ok--sorry to hijack a bit, but I just thought of our new sprinkles. Is there anyway to make a dip with those--or to add on top of a dip to use with a sweet bread? What drink would you use?

I was wondering the same thing. At one of my shows, the host made a sweet cheese ball & served w/graham cracker sticks. YUMMY!!
 
Continuing the hijack here for a minute...

Make the flavored cream cheese that's recommended for the cinn/caramel sprinkles. Form it into a ball, and roll in chopped nuts. That's all a cheese ball is, really. Serve with graham crackers, banana bread, vanilla wafers, a spoon LOL.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is beer bread, and how is it made?

Beer bread is a quick bread that uses beer as a leavening agent instead of yeast. The carbonation in the beer helps the bread rise, resulting in a soft and fluffy texture. To make beer bread, you typically combine self-rising flour, sugar, and your choice of beer, then bake it until golden brown. It's simple and requires minimal ingredients!

What types of beer work best for beer bread?

While you can use any type of beer to make beer bread, lighter beers like lagers or pale ales tend to produce a milder flavor, while darker beers like stouts or porters can add a rich, robust taste. Experimenting with different beers can lead to unique flavor profiles, so feel free to try your favorites!

What dips pair well with beer bread?

Beer bread pairs wonderfully with a variety of dips. Some popular options include creamy cheese dips, spinach and artichoke dip, or a zesty salsa. For a more gourmet touch, consider serving it with a roasted garlic and herb dip or a savory hummus. The versatility of beer bread makes it a great accompaniment to many flavors!

How can I incorporate beer bread into my Pampered Chef show?

Incorporating beer bread into your Pampered Chef show can be a fun and interactive experience. You can demonstrate the quick preparation of the bread using Pampered Chef tools, and invite guests to sample different beer bread variations paired with various dips. This not only showcases your culinary skills but also highlights the versatility of Pampered Chef products.

Can I make beer bread ahead of time for my show?

Yes, you can make beer bread ahead of time! It can be baked a day or two in advance and stored in an airtight container. To refresh it before serving, simply warm it in the oven for a few minutes. This allows you to focus on other aspects of your show while still providing fresh, delicious beer bread for your guests.
