If you love fresh baked bread, but find that you can't get it right, try this recipe I stole from my friend Shane Eaton
"I am an atrocious baker. My creations that ought to be light and fluffy are brick-like, and dishes that ought to be dense are pillowy soft. My kitchen has turned out greasy, burnt, flat, misshapen monstrosities time after time. Then I learned about beer bread. I've been making it for a few years now, and it never fails to convince friends that I am a champion housewife.
To make beer bread, (or, as I like to call it, "the bread of quitters, cheaters, and lazy sons-of-bitches"), you need only 4 ingredients:
3 cups self-rising flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 room-temperature beer
1 stick melted butter
Preheat the oven to 375. Sift your flour (or just use a spoon to measure it into the cup, just don't pack it tight) and mix it with the sugar and beer. Pour it into a greased loaf pan. Pour the melted butter on top. Bake for 45 min to an hour. The end. Fresh bread!
You can mix whatever you want into it, too. Herbs, cheese, garlic, onions, nuts, whatever.
Impress your friends!"
