Not quite like Tastefully simple. I followed the recipe exactly. I bake a lot, I thought this was kind of dry, but tasted okay.

Used 1/3 C of suger as recommended by other reviewers. Family loved it!

Yes, this recipe is a MUST TRY. It is beyond simple, and even though I hate beer, I find this bread is fantastic. I used a can of bud light... A friend of mine said the cheaper the beer the better, lol... Who knows... I might experiment with a dark beer next time.

Easiest... recipe... ever. To spice it up a bit I made one batch with honey butter on top and one batch with 1 tsp rosemary and 3/4 tsp garlic powder and about a handful of parmesean cheese with more cheese sprinkled on top. The tops become very, very crusty upon cooking. I let mine cool mostly and then put them in ziploc bags. This distributes moisture and makes them less crusty. Pro Tip: I made these in a muffin pan and they were great individual little loaves!

I would definitely make this again. Used Miller Lite that was one week away from expiring. Didnt have self rising flour so I made my own by adding 1.5tsp baking powder and .5tsp salt for each cup of flour I used. Otherwise, followed the recipe exactly. There was plenty of flavor, texture was slightly crumbly but firm, and a great crusty crust! No specific negatives, but an overall of four stars.

I like this because it leaves out the butter that clogs up other recipes....although butter tastes great, it doesn't fit my diet. I added three green onions, chopped. Sprinkled 1 T grated cheddar on top. Great with soup!

I made up up several mixes of this bread and gave them as gifts with cooking instructions and a can of beer. I weighed the flour on my food scale to make it go faster. According the flour nutrition label, 372 grams of flour is equal to 3 cups of flour. HOWEVER when I measured 3 cups of flour with a measuring cup and then weighed those 3 cups I found it to weigh almost 100 grams more. I attribute that to the flour getting packed in the measuring cup as I scoop it out of the bag. This discovery poses the question... is this recipe intended to use sifted flour (or weighed flour) or flour that was simply scooped out of the bag? I chose to use about 390 grams of flour per loaf mix and 1/3 cup sugar. I placed the mix in a quart size baggie then inside a lunch size paper bag. I attached a sticker label I created with the baking instructions and an expiration date based on the expiration date of the self-rising flour. I also included in the baking instructions to top bread with 3 tablespoons melted butter before baking. I made a sample loaf for me to try before I handed out my gifts and it was fabulous! This is a super cheap and easy recipe and makes great gifts!!!

I had some time today, and some left over Guinness in the fridge, so I thought I'd make some beer bread. When it comes to ease, you can't bake any easier than this! I had the ingredients sifted and mixed together and then added in the Guinness and took all of 10 minutes to get some nice batter. I made some of the suggested changes and used 1/3 cup of sugar, and I made my own self-starting flour by adding a tsp powder and a half tsp salt for every cup of flour (so adding 3 tsp baking powder, 1.5tsp salt). I also let them sit while my oven preheated but there wasn't much rising (!!!). After about 50 minutes in the oven I melted some butter (half a stick) and then brushed it on the top and put the bread back in for another 5 minutes or so (I used different types of pans and wasn't keeping track of time at that point). I have a lot of trouble with mixing ingredients "until moist" (which is what you do with beer breads), so I figured I might have overmixed this when I let it sit to rise a bit and it didn't. In fact, it didn't even rise much in the oven D: That said, the crust is delightfully crunchy and the insides are SO SOFT and spongy, it's really wonderful. I'm pretty sure overmixing and splitting the batter to let it rise a bit caused my problems. Even so, good recipe! I'm planning on trying it again with 4loko (goodness help me). Definitely would recommend it to others looking for a hearty, savory bread.

I used a bottle of killians beer.Dark beer is the key here.

I seem to be a failure at making bread with yeast, so this is my go-to bread. So easy and tasty! Its so easy to add other ingredients to change the taste of the bread (garlic and Italian seasoning, cheddar cheese and jalapenos, etc).
