chefann said:The type of beer you like as an ingredient in your beer bread will depend on the type of beer you like to drink. It's like the advice about cooking with wine - only cook with wine you'd drink because you still get the flavors.
I've made it with whatever we have in the house, usually Corona, Labatt's, or whatever one of DH's buddies brought over. The salsa and cheese variation on the box is also EXCELLENT.
Beer bread is a type of bread that is made with beer instead of yeast as a leavening agent. The carbonation in the beer helps the bread to rise and gives it a unique flavor.
Yes, you can use any type of beer for beer bread. However, different types of beer will give the bread different flavors. For a sweeter bread, use a lager or pilsner. For a more robust flavor, try using a darker beer like a stout or porter.
No, you do not need any special equipment to make beer bread. A mixing bowl, spoon or whisk, and a loaf pan are all you need. You can also use a bread machine on the dough setting if you have one.
Yes, you can make beer bread without beer. You can substitute the beer with a carbonated beverage like soda or seltzer water. However, the flavor will be slightly different than if you used beer.
Beer bread can last for up to 3 days at room temperature, but it is best to store it in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap to keep it fresh. You can also freeze beer bread for up to 3 months. To thaw, let it sit at room temperature for a few hours or overnight in the fridge.
