Instead of using your favorite BEER as in the original recipe....we decided to try....
YES...you are seeing that correctly...SPRITE instead of beer. Made for a light and tasty bread!
Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 50-60 mins
Total Time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup bread flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar (original recipe only had 1 tbsp, but we wanted a little sweeter bread)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 (12oz) can of Sprite Zero (original recipe used your favorite beer.)
- 3 tbsp honey
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooked
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. OR preheat Big Green Egg grill to around 350 degrees. (YES, we cooked our bread on our Big Green Egg and it worked perfectly!Grease a 9x5 loaf pan, set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients; both flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the Sprite Zero and honey and stir with a rubber spatula until thoroughly combined.
4. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared loaf pan.
5. Drizzle the melted butter over top of dough.
6. Place in oven (OR on Big Green Egg) and bake for 50-60 mins until golden brown.
HINTS & TIPS:
1. Sifting flour will add air to the bread and make a little lighter bread.
2. When baking on Big Green Egg, we used a cast iron bread pan. If seasoned properly the bread will pop right out at end of baking time.
3. Sugar can be reduced to 1 tbsp. We bumped it up a little to have a sweeter bread. But otherwise you could increase the honey instead.
I love how quick and easy this recipe is. No worrying about yeast...or rising! It can be mixed and baked. Great for a middle of the week bread. Also would make heavenly french toast (IF there were any left overs the next morning)!

ReplyDeleteJane...actually I do believe it will work. I haven't tried this particular recipe, but I have used Southern Living's beer bread in my bread machine with sprite before.

DeleteEven my beer-drinking husband likes my beer bread with soda instead of beer.
ReplyDeleteHaha Julie....mine does too. He tried to create better beer bread than me with his favorite beer, but the Sprite version always wins out!!!
DeleteSo excited to see this recipe, Pam!! I used to buy "Beer Bread" mixes from "Tastefully Simple" parties, but haven't been to a party for years and have never seen a from scratch recipe! I always used sprite too as we aren't beer fans :) LOVE that there's no yeast or rising involved! Easy peasy, delicious recipes are the BEST!! Pinned ;) Thanks so much for sharing!!

ReplyDeleteIn case you're going to eat bread, eat BREAD. I generally avoid pale phony white bread (PFWB)... so... it's anything but difficult to push aside the bread crate with ground sirloin sandwich bun finished cuts.bread machine manual
ReplyDeleteIt should also have many program cycles but it should also allow one to program in one's own baking cycles for maximum flexibility. And, above all, it should bake bread to perfection; every time.bread machine recipes
