Better Than The Mixes Beer Bread

• 3 cups Self-Rising Flour
• 5 Tablespoons White Sugar
• 1/4 cups Butter, Melted, Plus 2 Tablespoons For Optionally Brushing The Top Of The Loaf After Baking
• 12 ounces, fluid Beer, Room Temperature (the Darker The Beer, The Better The Beer Flavor)

1. Preheat oven to 375u0b0F.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, 1/4 cup melted butter and room temperature beer. Mix until just blended (do not mix too much or bread will be tough).
3. Pour thick mixture into a greased 9" x 5" loaf pan.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, depending on your oven. Mine takes approximately 55 minutes. You can use a cake tester to test, but make sure you don't do this until after 45 minutes baking time.
5. Remove the loaf pan to a wire rack to cool. Optional: Brush 2 tablespoons butter onto the top of the hot loaf after baking. Do not remove the bread from the loaf pan for at least 30 minutes.
6. Allow bread to cool completely before slicing or cubing.
7. Cube and dip in French Onion dip as an appetizer, or slice and serve with your favorite soups and stews.
