Ingredient Slow Cooker Beer Bread
Ingredients
3 cups self-rising flour
1 can (12 oz) of any beer
Directions
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour and beer until just combined. Embrace the lumps; they’re part of the charm.
Prepare Slow Cooker: Grease the inside of your slow cooker or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Add Dough: Transfer the dough mixture into the slow cooker. It will be sticky, but that’s perfectly fine.
Cook: Cover and set your slow cooker on high. Cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the top is firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Remove the bread and let it cool before slicing. This wait ensures a cleaner slice and enhanced flavor.
Variations and Tips:
Flavor Add-Ins: Consider incorporating fresh herbs or cheese into the dough for an extra flavor kick. Sharp cheddar or rosemary can elevate the taste.
Beer Varieties: Experiment with different types of beer. A pale ale yields a lighter loaf, while stouts or porters offer a richer flavor.
DIY Self-Rising Flour: If you don’t have self-rising flour, make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to each cup of all-purpose flour.
