Bacon Cheese Beer Bread

Ingredients

3 cups self-rising flour (339 grams)
1/2 cup sugar (99 grams)
12 ounces beer (354.88 ml)
8 ounces cheddar cheese (226.8 grams) shredded
4 pieces thick cut bacon cooked and diced
1 tablespoon butter melted (optional)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a bread pan with cooking spray and set aside.

In a large bowl whisk together the sugar and the flour. Gently mix in the beer. The batter will be thick.

Mix in the shredded cheese and bacon.

Pour the batter into the prepared bread pan. Bake for 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out with just a few crumbs (keep in mind that the cheese in the bread may be on the toothpick too).

Brush on the melted butter if using.

Allow to cool in the bread pan for 10 minutes. Then remove from the pan and allow to cool on a cooling rack for 1 hour before slicing.
