Beer bread recipe. Tried this out on 22nd Feb after the Christchurch quake and liked it. Costs about $2.00 to make and is the same weight as normal bread. Texture is like scone and tastes like a really nice cake. Gasp brought a real loaf the other day and will never buy bread again. You need: 3 cups flour -self raising or 2 heaped tsp baking powder, some sugar couple of spoons. Mix dry ingredients and add 330 mil can of beer (if still dry add a spoon or so of milk). When it is a sticky gooey mess in the bowl plunk it into a small greased loaf tin. Turn the oven on to 200c and the waiting time seems to help the mixture cook for 30 minutes till top sounds hollow to tap. Some grated cheese seals the top so it does not split when raising. One small slice is same weight as 2 slices of ordinary bread. Uses a small amount of butter and jam and is delicious. (By the way, my wife has lost 5 kg since we switched to this!).
