Beer Bread

I'm still new to baking, so got excited to see this post from the great blog Foodie Farm Girl.(Love her!) I thought I'd give it a try. Seemed easy enough. Some flour, a bottle of beer and some seasoning. It was a great toddler project too, Nico loved mixing the ingredients and pouring in the booze. It looked great in the oven and took on a lovely color and smell. Too bad it tasted horrible. There is a reason I don't drink: I hate the taste of alcohol. Even though it burned off in the oven I could distinctly taste the beer in this warm crusty loaf. So beer lovers, rejoice! Here is your new answer to your boring old sliced bread. As for me, I need to take the big plunge and learn to bake with real yeast. I'll keep you posted.
