BEER BREAD or APPLE CIDER BREAD....Just could not decide which to make, so made both to see what the differences would be. Seems to be an extremely rustic bread, great flavor. The Cider Bread is a bit stronger in flavour than the Beer Bread. But, then again, I used Dealcoholized Beer just to see wha would happen. It has a lovely, mild taste. I guess if you serve the Cider Bread just ask your friends not to drive home...seems to have bit of a punch in its dark, wholesome depths.
INGREDIENTS for EACH batch ( use separate bowls) : 3 cups mixed whole wheat and white flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, pinch salt, 2 tbsp molasses, 1 can of Beer/apple cider ( 12 oz)( must be at room temperature).
1. Mix flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt molasses. If doing the cider bread, mix the same ingredients in another bowl.
2. Add Beer/Apple Cider to your bowl and watch it fizz away like crazy.
3. Place in greased cake pan, plop in dough round.
4. Cut dough round into sections.
5. Bake at 325 degrees for about 40-50 minutes till it cooks away from the pan. In this photo you can see the different colours of the dfferent batches. The Beer Bread is on the left and the Cider Bread is on the right.
