Domestic Commando is for SAHMs and SAHDs (really, can't we come up with a less depressing term? Domestic Commando is so much better than SAHD) who want to enlist and take charge of their stay-at-home parenting decision. I like to serve up helpful tips (Tactical Ops), easy recipes, family preparedness info, and an occasional side of attitude. Whether you're home for a few weeks or a few years, stop by for a positive perspective that's a little bit old school, a little bit new school (sometimes I wish I'd homeschooled), occasionally crunchy and always efficiently self-reliant.
Beer Bread
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
- Whisk together the flour and sugar
- Gently stir in the beer (it will foam up, which kids love!)
- Pour batter into buttered or sprayed loaf pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.
- 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.)
