Some days it’s nice to do something a little extra for dinner that isn’t exhausting or seriously time consuming, but still elevates the meal. One of our favorite treats is beer bread. Who knew three little ingredients could yield a delicious, yeasty bread without the need to knead and rise?

1 12-ounce bottle of beer

1/3 cup sugar

3 cups self-rising flour

1. Whisk together the flour and sugar
2. Gently stir in the beer (it will foam up, which kids love!)
3. Pour batter into buttered or sprayed loaf pan.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.
5. Serve hot.

This is a great, simple recipe to make with your kids. There are just two dry ingredients to measure (over a piece of wax paper so any spilled flour or sugar can be returned to the storage containers). The liquid is pre-measured.

(Of course, the alcohol will bake off.)
