Beer Bread - Take Two!

Beer bread is one of my all time favorite breads, especially the boxed mix one that came from Trader Joe's. Unfortunately they discontinued carrying their beer bread a while back which put me on an ongoing mission to perfect homemade beer bread. This was a year long quest that saw no end in sight...til now. I've actually made beer bread once before on this blog and the recipe was delicious, but still not quite right. I've tried a few other recipes in between but still it didn't hit the mark.

Beer Bread

For those of you who have never had beer bread this is a definite must have in my book. It is a thick, dense, moist bread that is best eaten straight out of the oven with a smear of butter on top that will melt from the warmth of the bread.

The recipe only calls for four ingredients and I am willing to bet that you have every one of them on hand at any given time. The only downside to the recipe is it take about 40 minutes to bake, but trust me, it is worth the wait.
