When I think “Super Bowl”, I think of beer and lots of snacks.. and football. But mostly beer and snacks. This easy recipe covers both, and is sure to be a crowd pleaser.

It’s also become my go-to quick bread recipe. I’ve whipped it up a handful of times in the past month… It’s buttery and flaky and delicious. Goes great with dinner, makes delicious sandwiches, and is an awesome vehicle for dip. P and I are big fans of this recipe – hope you will be too!

Ingredients:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 1/2 tablespoons raw sugar (can use granulated)
• 12 ounce beer (I usually use an ale)
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 tablespoon orange juice
• 1/4 cup melted butter

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 – 375 degrees.
2. Mix together dry ingredients. Add beer, milk, and juice. Mix with a fork, just barely enough for the mixture to come together.
   • It will look a bit lumpy, and that is a-ok. If you over-mix it’ll get chewy and tough, so don’t over-mix!
3. Pour into a greased loaf pan
   • The dough will be super sticky and not smooth. Don’t worry about it. Even it out as gently as you can, but don’t worry if it isn’t smooth.. it’ll self-correct while baking.
4. Pour melted butter over dough in pan.
5. Bake 45 minutes – 1 hour. Remove from pan and cool for a few minutes before digging in.

Have a great weekend!
