You’ll have to excuse the inappropriateness of this post. I fully understand your position.. it’s 100 zillion degrees outside and the last thing you want to be tempted with is something that requires you to turn on your oven.
Baking. In the heat of the summer. Who does that?
I do!
And you should too.
Here’s an oldie but goodie (blogged before on Dine & Dish) recipe to get you in the mood…classic Beer Bread. Not the kind you mix up from a box, but just as simple.
Turn on your oven and heat things up even more. It’s so worth it. I promise!
Beer bread with a thick, buttery crust and tender inside. Quick, easy and so delicious!
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour, sifted (not packed)
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt

You should list the pan size on this recipe. I used a regular bread pan and the butter overflowed and burnt in the bottom of my oven causing my house to fill with smoke :/ Not your fault, just remember there are some people out there who are cooking inept and need to know every detail!
I made this tonight and it was FABULOUS! This is a keeper … thanks for sharing it!
Oh no – I’m sorry! I didn’t have that problem
I hope that it still tasted ok and your oven isn’t too hard to clean out. I never like giving people messes to clean up!
Hi Frank – I’ve never tried that but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. If you try it, will you let me know how it goes? Thanks!
