Veronica’s Buttery Beer Bread

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

I am not sure how one review states that the dough was dry and that there was no beer flavor. I can assure you one thing, it was not the recipe’s fault!
I tweaked this only a little. I added pumpkin ale, a scant 3 cups AP flour, and 3 TBSP cold butter to the dough, then did everything else the same. I also reduced the baking time to 45 minutes and it turned out just right.
Wonderful recipe! Thanks for sharing!

What a flop. No beer flavor as it is mostly dry dough and the butter only made it crispy on outside. I will not make again. I had high expectations.

I made this last night, and it was my best experience with beer bread to date. The butter made for a crunchy crust all around the loaf, and the inside was very tender. Loosely scooping the flour and sifting before stirring is key. I also let the dough sit for 10+ minutes before baking, to give the rising agent time to activate, and I believe that’s why my loaf rose like a yeasted dough! I added pumpkin ale, but nearly any beer would be fantastic in this recipe. Thanks Veronica!

Really great. Very easy and came out with the best crust! Not sure you need an entire stick of butter and I am definitely looking forward to experimenting with different beers. Yum!

This was awesome!!! Such a wonderful accompaniment to the soup I made last night and super, super easy! I think the next time I make it I might try it with half a stick of butter just to make myself feel a bit better about eating half the loaf in one sitting, but it’s amazing. Thank so much for the recipe!
