Beer Bread.

This bread is so easy and quick, which makes it perfect to whip up to accompany hot soup on a winter's day. You can double the recipe for a bigger loaf.

2 cups self raising flour

Good pinch salt

I can beer

150grams melted butter

Seeds for topping (optional)...sesame, poppyseeds, sunflower seeds

Preheat oven to 190degC. Grease a loaf tin ( approx.18x8cm base).

Place flour and salt in a bowl and mix in the beer to make a sticky dough. Add half the melted butter and mix well. Place into prepared tin , sprinkle with any seeds if you wish and cook in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and pour over remaining melted butter. Place back in the oven and cook for a further 30 minutes or until cooked. Test with a skewer. Cool a little before slicing.
