Cheddar Beer Bread

A perfect easy and delicious snack for March Madness!

Cheddar Beer Bread

Ingredients
2 cups flour
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
Generous pinch of salt
1 cup of beer
1/4 cup (scant) honey
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
Melted butter for brushing

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a loaf pan
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt
3. Stir in the beer, honey, and 1 cup of the cheese
4. Pour the sticky batter into the greased pan
5. Top with the remaining cheese and lightly brush with melted butter
6. Bake for 30 minutes.  Remove bread and lightly brush top again with butter
7. Continue to bake for 10 more minutes or until tester comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the loaf and cheese on top has browned
8. Cool in pan for 15 minutes.  Remove to rack to cool for 10 minutes before serving


Update: I used whole wheat flour the second time around - made all the difference.  Also used enough beer to just make the bread wet enough and used blue moon - much more delicious than bud light
