Back to Basic Bakes

I won't bore you again after this, BUT I must tell you one more time that my little bread baker is going to be put to use on a very regular basis. That is because is I can bake a small loaf without fails and it not only looks good, it tastes wonderful. Take my word! The latest liquid used was beer and I have found out that we like the bread made with beer the best. We also like it less sweet. BUT! This is a BIG BUT - Adding grated sharp cheese was a killer!

Plain Recipe Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups self-rising flour

1T sugar

1T onion powder

1 tsp  paprica

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

6 oz. beer

Mix first then add beer

Do not over-mix! (I stir with spatula until flour is all absorbed then scoop into  greased baker.)

Instructions:

(Do NOT pre-heat oven)

Place in oven and heat to 350° F

Bake 50-60 minutes (start timing after temp in oven reaches 350°)

After resting on grate, turn out onto cutting board. Slice by holding loaf on side. Easy does it.

Oh, the stew was plain and simple! We ate it all.

I can sliced white potatoes with liquid

1 can diced tomatoes with liquid

1/2 can peas strained

1 tsp. onion powder

1 T chicken boullion granules 

1 left-over chicken patty cut into small cubes

AND..... Pottery bowls to keep it warm when you slowly slurp.
