Equipment
- Liquid Measuring Cup
- Mixing Bowls
- Metal Loaf Pan
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour $0.30
- 1 Tbsp sugar $0.06
- 1 Tbsp baking powder $0.12
- 2 tsp salt $0.04
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese* $0.62
- 4 Tbsp butter, divided** $1.20
- 12 oz. beer (one regular-sized can) $0.92
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375℉. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and shredded cheese. Mix well.
- Melt the butter in a small sauce pot. Use a pastry brush to coat the inside of a 9x5 loaf pan with butter. Set the remaining butter aside.
- Add the beer to the flour mixture and stir until a thick batter forms. Transfer the batter to the prepared bread pan, making sure to spread it out evenly inside the bread pan.
- Pour the rest of the melted butter on top of the bread dough.
- Bake the bread for 45-50 minutes, or until deeply golden brown on top.
- Once slightly cool (about 10 minutes), run a butter knife around the inside edge of the pan gently to loosen the edges, and then turn the bread onto a cutting board to slice and serve.
