Here is another simple recipe and remember, if you know a good recipe, and want to share it, email us at hello@todayonline.uk.

BEER BREAD. If you’ve ever run out of bread, but have beer and flour, fret no more.

It’s simple and delicious, and best of all, because the beer is cooked, the alcoholic content is evaporated but it allows the beer yeast to produce a superior bread.

WHAT YOU NEED:

INGREDIENTS TO MAKE 1 LOAF:

300 grams of self raising (or you can use plain) flour

568 ML (UK pint tin of beer)

Sprinkle of salt

Tablespoon of sugar to add extra nutrient to help the bread

Add an option gulg of olive oil, cheese or any flavouring, or don’t, and keep it plain, it’s your call.

HOW TO MAKE:

In a large mixing bowl, add 300 grams of flour and gently add the beer in, in 3 stages if possible whilst gently, but forcefully combing the ingredients together.

Once in a slimy consistence (don’t worry about it’s look), add the sugar and salt and any flavourings if desired.

Cover for about half an hour and then put on a clean surface to roll.

Butter or oil a large bread tin and place in oven on 180-200 degrees or gas mark 4-5 for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and poke with a knife or toothpick in the middle and if no batter is present, the bread is cooked.

Place on a metal wire to cool or serve it hot with some lovely butter and enjoy!
