Beer Bread

This is what is called a batter bread. They are quick and easy when there is not a lot of time to prepare a yeast bread. This one uses beer. Don't worry the alcohol bakes off.  It is similar to the way the Egyptians made bread.

I had this at an office party, or something very close. It is a good hardy bread.  and not too sweet. Enjoy
