Cheese & Onion Beer Bread for Australia Day
-
1 330ml/11.6fl oz can or bottle of beer (I only had a 375ml bottle so I gave Mr NQN the rest to drink)
-
2 2/3 cups of self raising flour
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1 cup chopped green onions
-
1 cup grated cheese (nothing fancy, I used tasty cheese)
Pouring beer with one hand and taking a photo with another isn't advised! ;)
Step 1 - Preheat the oven to 190C/375F. Line a 9 inch loaf tin (or you can live life on the edge and just spray it with non stick oil spray but the cheese does stick a little). Place flour and salt in a large bowl and add the beer and stir until combined. It will start to look just like a regular bread dough. Add the green onions and cheese and stir to distribute. I find a silicon spatula helps with this mix.
Step 2 - Place the batter in the loaf tin and bake for 45-50 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes and then remove from tin, slice and serve warm with good butter. And a tip: to slice, turn this loaf upside down as the top is quite crusty, and start cutting from the bottom.
This smells amazing baking in the oven. Get ready for a surly man crowd to gather!
