Notes
Does beer bread taste like beer? The short answer is no. If you didn’t know there was beer in the bread, you wouldn’t be able to tell by the taste alone. It does have a deeper, richer flavor than an every day white bread and that’s what makes it so delicious!
And it goes without saying, but just in case . . .all the alcohol bakes out of this bread in the oven, so there’s nothing boozy going on here!
Can I add anything to the bread? Yes. Check out my Cheesy Onion Beer Bread recipe on the blog from years ago for some ideas and guidelines!
