Harp’s Beer Bread

3 cups self rising flour, sifted twice, this is a must
¼ cup sugar
1 bottle Harp Beer

¼ cup butter, melted

In a large bowl add flour and sugar, sifting mixture twice, this will make the bread nice and tneder, pour in beer as mixing with your hand, just fold mixture until just combined, “Do Not Over Mix”.  Pour into a greased loaf pan, let sit for 10 minutes, pour butter over top of dough.  Bake at 375 for 1 hour, till top is light brown.  Cool before slicing, you can make smaller loaves, just divide dough and butter and bake until top is light brown, maybe 35-45 minutes.

Note:  You can use All-purpose flour, but you will need to add 3 3/4 tsp. baking soda and 3/4 tsp. salt.

This bread was great with the Beer Cheese Soup (recipe coming) and stew (recipe also coming)
You could also a slice of this bread a toast and spread with butter or spread with my Beer Cheese Dip.
