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.

It looks (and smells) just like regular dough

Stir through the good stuff

Then spread out in a loaf tin-it will rise (I didn't line mine, only sprayed it with oil spray)

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!
