| You guys are working too hard. 4 cups bisquick, one 12 ounce can of beer (not light), and a little bit of sugar. Let it sit 20 minutes, and then bake it. |

I have been buying the beer bread in a box this whole time! My family is addicted to the stuff after a tasting party I went to. I had no idea it was this easy to replicate!! Now I'm gonna have to try this.
OP- If you ever truly give up on your bread making, Walmart sells "Beer Bread" that is the easiest thing to bake I've ever seen in my life. It comes in a box like cake mix, you literally just add a beer (or any carbonated beverage) and pop it in the oven for about an hour. Oh my gosh, best stuff ever!! |

| I make beer bread because I have a hard time with real bread. It is super easy and you can add anything to it you want like add basil,oregano and parm cheese, or bacon, jalepenos ect. I love it. I am going to check out these other recipes I love homemade bread but fail so often that I just gave up. |

I'm like you - I really enjoy baking. I'd be fat if I ate everything I made. I hate to cook but spend my boring winter days baking.  |

Location: Armuchee, GA, NW section of Ga | I'm in the middle of making rustic german rye bread AKA black bread now. I am a ole army brat and loved the black bread I use to get, so I've been feeding the sour rye starter for several days now and hope to get baking this weekend. My DH got me a nice stand mixer for Christmas with a bread hook that I've been wanting to try out, and hopefully I'll be a happy bread maker soon. I love the organic prarie bread you get at Harry's markets/whole foods and am still looking for that receipe too.
Just jump in and get started, enjoy the process.

| If it makes you feel any better, I can't bake a loaf for the life of me. And I even have the fancy KitchenAid mixer. I follwed the directions to the T and could never make a decent loaf that I was happy with. And then my loving SIL gave me a bread machine for Christmas. My bread still isn't as good as my MIL's, but I'm a lot happier with it now than I was before. Lol.
Moral of the story, I have no bread making secrets other than a bread machine.  |

Location: Missouri | I too am a bread machine enthusiast. I have a cheap Sunbeam that I got when my son (now 16) was tiny. It has made COUNTLESS loaves. I'm sure you can do the same with baking the old-fashioned way, but I love experimenting with recipes. I made an apple cinnamon bread, honey wheat, endless possibilities! Now if I would just learn to write down all of my concoctions! Good luck and have fun. Nothing better than the smell of baking bread. |

My son is thrilled and my husband complains because I am messing up his diet lol. Ooops, Sorry. Yesterday I did successfully make a loaf of bread! I ate half the loaf last night lol.
Looking good!!! congratulations! I bake a ton and then give a bunch away or freeze it. I love sweets but after losing 30 pounds last year I have to watch what I eat. My hubby don't care about his diet. He just likes to eat. LOL |

I did the first recipe CYA posted. I wasn't sure I had enough flour so I cut the recipe in half. I probably shouldn't have since I am still learning the whole bread making thing, but I didn't want to get half way through and not have enough flour lol. It still turned out good though. |
