![]() ![]() ![]() If you see a little bit of flour in the bowl, or when you put it in the pan, it is fine.do NOT overmix! I just "turn it" into a buttered loaf pan, and then I take the spoon and gently "push" the dough around to make sure it is evenly distributed, especially in the corners.do NOT make it completely level, or push down on it to spread evenly just light pushing is all you need. The trick is, do NOT mix a lot, just lightly mix until you have pretty much coated all the flour in the bowl, but no more! Overmixing will give you a hard loaf. I do not sift the flour and it comes out fine, but I just spoon the flour into a measuring cup. I don't add any oil, but I DO dot the top of the bread with pieces of butter. You also do not have to "pour butter" on top, or even add it to the mix. I have added various herbs at times, and have also added various cheeses. I have made this recipe hundreds of ually use self-rising flour, but I NEVER add any sugar, as I hate sweet tastes, and it always comes out wonderful, but has a definite beer taste. Thank you all for the incredibly nice comments and those of you who left a bad review - learn to sift sift SIFT! You will be amazed at the results you get.The final result should be a thick, hearty and very tasteful bread, NOT A BRICK! ).That is fine to do but I highly recommend adding a packet of Dry Active Yeast or 2 teaspoons of Bread (Machine) Yeast so that you get a proper rise. I have had many email from you kind folks about using non-alcoholic beverages instead of beer.Try it once the "correct" way and you will see an amazing difference in the end product. That's because they aren't sifting their flour! If you do not have a sifter, use a spoon to spoon the flour into the 1 cup measure. That compacts the flour and will turn your bread into a "hard biscuit" as some have described. Most people just scoop the 1 cup measure in the flour canister and level it off. Sifting flour for bread recipes is a must-do.If you prefer a softer crust (like a traditional bread) mix the butter into the batter instead of pouring it over the top. UPDATED NOTES: This recipe makes a very hearty bread with a crunchy, buttery crust.Bake 1 hour, remove from pan and cool for at least 15 minutes. ![]()
