Cheddar Herb Beer Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat the inside of a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan with the nonstick spray and set aside.
• Whisk together the all-purpose flour, wheat flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and herbs in a large mixing bowl. Add in the cheese and stir in the beer just to combine. Spread the batter, which will form into a ball, evenly in the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the sunflower seeds, if using. (I moistened the top with beaten egg and we didn't have sunflower seeds).
• Bake on the middle rack of the oven about 45 to 55 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer the loaf to a cooling rack for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
• Serve warm.
• Option - 1) Rosemary-Feta.
• 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary and 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese.
• Option - 2) Italian.
• 1 teaspoon each dried basil and oregano.
• 2 minced cloves of garlic, and 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan.
• Here are some more tasty things that can be add:
• 1 Tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary.
• 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
• 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh.
• 2 minced garlic cloves.
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives,.
• 1/2 cup chopped scallions.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Brush an 8-by-4-by-2 1/2-inch loaf pan with some of the melted butter.
• Whisk together the flour, sugar and 1/2 cup Cheddar in a large bowl.
• Pour the beer into a medium bowl. Add half of the remaining butter and whisk together (it will get foamy!).
• Pour the beer-butter mixture into the flour mixture and fold until just combined (it's ok if there are lumps). The batter will be relatively thick and shaggy. Transfer to the prepared loaf pan and pat out into an even layer. Pour the remaining butter over the batter and top with the remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar and the jalapeno slices. Bake until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 190 degrees F, 1 hour to 1 hour 5 minutes.
• Let cool in the pan on a rack for about 15 minutes. Invert the bread out of the pan and eat warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm beer slightly. Stir in milk and 2 tablespoons margarine to melt. Pour contents into bread machine pan. Pour in flour. Make a well in the center of the flour, and sprinkle salt onto one side of the mound that forms. Into the well, pour the sugar and yeast. Sprinkle with pepper, onion, garlic, and herbs. Begin the dough cycle.
• Meanwhile, slice the cheese into pea-size crumbles. Avoid using shredded cheese, as it may clump. Once the dough forms into a sticky ball, gradually add the cheese crumbles.
• As the cycle continues and the cheese fully incorporates into the dough, the ball should still be somewhat soft and sticky. If it is too dry, add a bit of milk.
• When the cycle has completed, punch down the dough, and divide it in half. Place each half into a greased loaf pan, and allow the dough to rise, about 45 to 60 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• When the dough has risen, bake for 1 hour, or until the loaves are golden brown and make a hollow sound when thumped. Immediately turn out onto a cooling rack, and brush with melted margarine. Cool completely before cutting.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and lightly grease the sides of a 9x5 loaf pan.
• In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together. Add the cheese and mix with a wooden spoon.
• Add the beer (it doesn't need to be room temperature or anything-cold is ok). Mix until incorporated but not much more. Do not overmix.
• Pour 1/4 cup of the melted butter into the bottom of the prepared pan. Spoon batter into pan. Top batter with remaining 1/4 cup butter (I know-it looks like a GIANT sea of butter. It will get absorbed as the bread cooks).
• Bake for 50 minutes or until a wooden skewer comes out clean.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF.
• Combine all the ingredients (except the beer) until well mixed.
• Add beer a quarter at a time until all ingredients are blended.
• Spoon into a greased and floured 4x8 inch loaf pan and smooth down with fork.
• Bake for 1 hour.
• Remove from pan and cool on wire rack. Serve warm with soup or stew.
