lOL! I always liked the notion of ‘Beer Bread’, because it somehow sounded to me like it was ‘crusty and full of holes’ - a savory, sort of sour, yeast bread.
The one time I tried a recipe, it was like any quick-bread loaf...
Back in the 70s, I used a 1, 2, 3 beer bread recipe but made muffins.
1 can of beer
2 heaping T sugar
3 C Bisquik
Be very careful with it. That’s how I got my hubby.
Tip - At the beginning of covid, there was no flour so I bought Bisquik. Hate that overly salty stuff so it’s sat in the pantry for two years. Recently, I’ve been using it half and with all purpose flour in bread making. Don’t add salt to your yeast recipes and it works just fine.
These days, I’d add flour to the beer bread recipe to cut the salt. I suspect they’ve changed the Bisquik ingredients as it used to not be as salty. YMMV.
