Ingredients
3 cups Flour
3 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Salt
1 can Beer (made up to 500 mls with water)
1 Handful of grated cheese
Preparation
Preheat oven to 200°C. Quickly mix all ingredients together and spoon into a greased or non-stick loaf tin and top with grated cheese. A large loaf 20 x 10cm tin will take 1 hour but smaller tins 8 x 15cm take 35 - 40 minutes.
This bread can be made with a variety of flours, wholemeal, mixed grain etc. Allow 1 teaspoon baking powder per cup of flour - and of course it can be topped with other things besides cheese, e.g. sesame seeds, rosemary, flaked salt, paprika and poppy seeds etc. A great idea is to make a stuffed bread using this basic recipe. Place 1/2 the mixture in the loaf tin.
Spoon in a layer of onion marmalade (see recipe) and say a layer of chargrilled peppers, spinach leaves, pitted olives etc. Spoon in the remainder of the dough and bake as per directions.
