Equipment
A small 23 x 12cm (9 x 5in) loaf tin
Large bowl
Ingredients
450gself-raising flour
1tbspgranulated sugar
330mlbottle of beer (vegan)
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4. Line a small 23 x 12cm (9 x 5in) loaf tin with baking parchment.
Mix together the flour and sugar in a large bowl. Pour in the beer and mix to form a thick batter. Stir to ensure the mixture is combined, then pour into the lined loaf tin.
Bake in the oven for 50–55 minutes until a golden crust has formed. Allow to cool a little before removing from the tin and peeling away the baking parchment.
Notes
The type of beer used affects the flavour of the loaf. Dark ales create a complex and deep flavour. I love using a good-quality IPA, which gives an almost bitter, sourdough taste. Or give beer the boot and add cider to the mix for a sweet loaf.
