BEER BREAD

1.     INTRODUCTION

Bread was first made in roughly the 18th century. Shortly after that people realized that you could utilize beer instead of live yeast. After the beer is brewed there is some extra yeast at the end of the brewing process. This is what makes the head (foam) on top of your beer after you pour it into a glass. This foam is where the bread gets the ability to rise in the oven.

3.     RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The recipe went very well and was a fun and easy way to make bread. However when I make it again, I will use two separate loaf pans since this recipe was too much for one small loaf pan in the picture.
