Going gluten free was hard enough, but giving up our family’s favorite Beer Bread recipe was tough. In a quest to create gluten free bread, I tried recipe after recipe, tweaking ingredients each time. Finally, after finding the perfect mixture of various flours, I finally came up with a wheat free beer bread that has the right taste and texture that satisfied our craving for delicious bread.
Cut thick slices for a satisfying side dish with any meal, or cut thin slices to make a delicious (although crumbly) wheat free sandwich bread. For a delicious party dish, cut into chunks and serve with your favorite dip. It’s a tasty twist on an old recipe.
For the best results, use a pale gluten free beer that has a subtle flavor. For a different treat, use an alcoholic cider made by the beer companies. Enjoy!
