I wanted to try to make the beer bread, but realized I have already packed my loaf pans for the move. Do you suppose it might work in the rectangle baker? That and the round stone are all I left out!
 
Yes! A good friend of mine (who sells Tastefully Simple) prefers her's in the round pans, and I know she's done them in the 9x13 also, so I don't see why it wouldn't work for you! You may have to lessen the cook time a bit because the batter will be spread a little thinner, if you know what I mean!
 
It would work but I'd double the recipe (use both packets and 2 beers/sodas/liquid equivalent).

I poured the batter into it and it just didn't look like it was going to spread out right, so I dug out one of my loaf pans.

Now, which seasoning/rub makes the best dip w/ mayo and sour cream??? :D
 
Hello there! Thank you for reaching out. Yes, you can definitely use the rectangle baker or the round stone to make the beer bread. The shape of the pan may slightly alter the appearance of the bread, but it should still turn out delicious. Happy baking!
