Beer bread with sweet corn
If you have a bottle of beer and 500g of self raising flour in your house, you are basicaly an hour away from having fresh bread on the table, add a can of cream style sweet corn, and you have a meal, maybe braai a piece of sausage, some apricot jam and cheese, and there you go, food fit for a king.
Ingredients:
1 bottle of beer (340ml)
1 can cream style sweet corn
5ml salt
500g self raising flour.
(A handfull of grated cheese in the mixture will only make it better)
Heat oven to 180 degrees C. Mix everything together, pour into a greased bread tin and bake for about an hour, test after 45 minutes for readiness.
Enjoy with butter, apricot jam and cheese.
Bon appetite

Great recipe! What’s the best beer to use for the bread? I’ve been trying to choose one for beer bread and when I make beer battered fish but I don’t know how to choose…

Hi There,
I prefer to use something like Windhoek Lager (nothing but barley, hops and water) but thats just my preference.

Thanks for your advice. I will try that as a starting point and experiment from there

What can you use to substitute the beer with

The yeast in the beer act as a rising agent, so you will have to use something with yeast in it, if you don’t want to use the beer for religiuos reasons, I would suggest to use an alcohol free beer, I know there is a couple of different ones on the market.
