Cheddar-Chive Beer Bread
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup chopped fresh chives
- 1 cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese; don’t use pre-shredded
- 1 12-ounce can of Island Coastal Lager
- 3 tablespoons honey, warmed
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°. Fit an 8" x 4" loaf pan (or several mini loaf pans) with parchment paper or generously spray with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, chives and cheddar cheese. Add in the warmed honey and Island Coastal Lager. Stir until well-combined; don't overmix!
Pour mixture into the prepared loaf pan, top with two tablespoons of butter and bake in preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes*, or until the top is golden brown and the middle is solid (test with a toothpick). With 10 minutes left in baking, remove the bread from the oven, add the remaining one tablespoon of melted butter on top, return to oven and finish baking. Cool for 8 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
*For mini loaf pans, bake time will be 30-35 minutes.
