Heat the oven to 350. Grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with a little oil or butter. Whisk together the flours, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add the oil or butter and beer, and stir just until everything is combined.
Pour into the loaf pan and bake until the loaf is nicely browned and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, 45 to 60 minutes. Cool on a rack for 15 minutes before removing from the pan and serving.
"Yeast bread with no yeast." What do you think the beer adds?
Easy and tasty. I would increase the salt to 1 tablespoon. I used Rogue’s Hazelnut Brown ale and thought it was quite good.
Lori B - many commercial beers are filtered and pasteurized, so there would be little to no live yeast.
This might be a dumb question, but would this work with an amber ale (such as Fat Tire?)? I realize the flavor will be a bit different, but I'm wondering if the chemistry would be the same.
flat tire?
Absolutely. This is a standard beer bread. Use any beer that you find tasty. IPAs can be a bit odd in beer bread if you're not expecting them--the bread will taste hoppy--but ambers like Fat Tire are ideal: mild and a bit sweet.
