Notes
Beer Bread Variations:
- Herbed Beer Bread. As I mentioned above, my preferred way to make this bread is by adding in some of our favorite Lawry’s Garlic Salt. But you could also add in 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary or thyme to give it a differerent twist.
- Parmesan Cheese Beer Bread. I love the combo of cheese and garlic, so I love adding a 1/2 cup of shredded parmesan + the teaspoon of garlic salt.
- Spicy Cheese Beer Bread. Again, cheese makes everything better. Shred a half a cup of pepper jack and mix it into your dough. Or add 1 tablespoon of diced jalapeno plus 1/2 cup of cheddar or jack cheese.
- Italian Beer Bread. Mix in 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning plus 1/4 cup prepared pesto and 1/4 cup diced sundried tomatoes. YUM!
- Apple Cinnamon Beer Bread. Mix in 1 teaspoon cinnamon
and 1 cup of diced green apples. You can also substitute apple-flavored beer if desired.
