Does anyone have a good recipe for Beer Bread?

Question

Years ago (late 70s) the mother of a friend of mine made this REALLY GOOD sour dough Beer Bread that had to have a 'Culture' of some kind fermented for several days before becoming one of the ingredients for the bread...NO it didn't have to do with the one can of beer called for in the recipe. :| Once all the ingredients were together I THINK the bread had to sit and ferment an addition three or so days before baking in a "tube" bread "baker" in the oven.

Sadly, my friend and I lost touch before I could the that recipe for that particular Beer Bread.

10 points to the one who comes up with that particular recipe. :D

Answer 1

This is NOT what you are looking for but do try it.Texas-Missouri Beer Bread
3 cups self-rising flour
6 tablespoons sugar
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 12 ounce can beer
1 stick butter or margarine, softened
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease a bread pan.
3. In a large bowl, hand mix all ingredients except butter.
4. Spoon dough into the pan and bake for 45 minutes.
5. Remove bread and rub with butter until all butter is melted.
6. Return to oven and bake 15 more minutes.

Answer 2

Ingredients:

3 cups bread flour
3 tsp Baking powder
3/4 tsp Salt
3/4 tsp Baking soda
1/4 cup Sugar
12 fl Beer; any kind
1/2 c Butter; melted
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease on 8 X 5 inch loaf pan. Line with a strip of wax paper and grease the paper (butter, crisco, Pam, whatever). Place dry ingredients in a food-processor bowl or mixer. Beating or processing, add the beer. Mix until smooth. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and top with melted butter. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes.

If you don't have a food processor, don't panic. The dough is very liquid-y, so you can just stir it well with a wooden spoon, just until the ingredients are mixed well, but not so much that you stir out all the bubbles and the bread won't rise!

You may want to put some kind of pan or cookie sheet on the bottom of your oven because the butter tends to dribble out of the loaf pan.

sprinkle the center with cornmeal. Gently turn the dough out onto the
cornmeal.

Cut an 'x' in the center of teh dough with a clean razor blade or the steel
