Just like Little House on the Prairie (with beer and an electric stove)

I’m quite proud of myself for making bread for the first time.

Granted, it was incredibly easy.

Granted, it took less than 5 minutes to prepare.

But… it’s BREAD! And I made it….. I’m feeling so very “Little House on the Prairie” – like only wilderness people make bread, right?

So, here is my new discovery that will become a staple at our house because we always have the ingredients… and did I mention it’s so simple?

Beer Bread Recipe from Recipezaar
(Note: Since I didn’t have a loaf pan… because I don’t make bread…. I used a glass pyrex container. It worked pretty swell and turned out thicker.)

Ingredients
3 cups flour (sifted)
3 teaspoons baking powder (omit if using Self-Rising Flour)
1 teaspoon salt (omit if using Self-Rising Flour)
1/4 cup sugar
1 (12 ounce) can beer (We used Coors Light)
1/2 cup melted butter

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Mix dry ingredients and beer.
3. Pour into a greased loaf pan.
4. Pour melted butter over mixture.
5. Bake 1 hour, remove from pan and cool for at least 15 minutes.

I swear… that’s it! Try it, it’s delicious!
