I have a recipe for beer bread, uses no yeast. It’s somewhere between actual bread and quick bread in texture and consistency, and you’ll taste the beer, so use something you like.

12 Oz beer, room temperature
3 cups self-rise flour (or 3 cups
All-purpose flour plus 3Tbs baking soda and 1Tbs salt)
1/4 sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted

Preheat oven to 375F

Grease a load pan

Mix beer, flour (salt and baking soda if needed) and sugar. Pour into loaf pan, pour melted butter on top

Bake 45-60 minutes. Cool in the pan 5 minutes, then remove and coil on a wire rack.

Easiest thing ever. And it’ll hold together enough for a sandwich.
i get swayed easily,have a new favorite chef.

firdt felt it was weak then? was it muted it like? adjusted as in got usd to weaker flavour? i mean i believe it jsut cruious abt your experience.
Over flavoring can mute as well as under flavoring. That is why we recommend sft when you are starting out. Even I did sfts with the first hundred or so flavors; still do some here and there. Once you get a feel for the individual flavors and your tastes you can start winging the mixes. Admittedly tedious but imo necessary in the beginning of the diy mixing journey. Finding a flavor reviewer with tastes similar to your own helps. Concrete River and Mystic Rose are my go to reviewer's that closely match my own impressions of flavors.

can you mix something that taste like :D


According to my husband (who taught me how to make proper cornbread) that stuff is an abomination to real cornbread and should be called "corncake" since it's sweet like cake... lol (I've never had that brand personally)..

So Proper cornbread is made with proper cornmeal (the brand with a native American on the package is what I use) has bacon grease inside instead of oil, uses no sugar in any way and is made in a cast iron skillet.

The above is the only authentic cornbread in my husbands opinion

Exactly! Just nothing but a hint of flavor. Now keep in mind I had just quit smoking so my “taster” was still messed up. My taste buds woke up somewhere in there AND I started making better recipes. I also learned a few lessons on what I don’t like flavor wise. I have not done much SFT and really admire those of you that do.
On ELR calculator you can adjust the whole recipe. I only upped mine 1-2% generally. Doesn’t take much.

Well had to go to walmart supercenter today.
Was surprised at the restocks from last time i went. Maybe people have calmed down a bit around here, for now.
They are also limiting the number of people that can be in the store at one time. Maybe that is helping discourage the horders as well.

Hope everyone is well.
Back to work tomorrow :(
