Easiest Bread recipe in the world

purpleimp

Hello folks,

We are really poverty stricken this month after having been away all last week for a friends wedding, so I decided I was going to make our own bread, bought the bread flour the yeast etc etc and got home to look out a recipe for it to have with the broccoli and cauliflour soup I made for tea.

I dont have a loaf tin or a cake tin so was planning on a bloomer type thing, scouted about for a recipe and saw this:


This is the easiest good tasting bread, serve it warm with butter--MMmmm, it can be varied by simply adding some cheddar &jalapenos or black olives, or what ever you like. It

Sounds too simple but it really is good.

Recipe

2 2/3 cup SELF RISING flour in bowl.
Stir in any brand 12 oz. beer (I LIKE CORONA).:beer:

Stir in half, mix well, stir in rest of beer, all of it, no sipping. It will be a very wet dough. Divide into two 9x5 greased with margerine loaf pans, place in oven at 350 degrees for 50 min. remove from oven and turn onto wire rack to cool.

Makes a bread very tender on the inside, slightly crusty on the outside. Only two ingredients, what could be easier?

Enjoy.

the recipe came from https://www.breadnet.net

Now as I didn't have a loaf tin, I made rolls in a yorkshire pudding tray and poured the remaining wet dollop on a baking sheet, the dollop didn't turn out too well, it just kind of spread but the rolls are faband really crusty, they could have been a bit bigger though, I used tennants which worked fine but I would maybe be inclined to add a wee bit of salt and sugar next time round, hope this might be encouraging to another newbie to the world of breadmaking (or maybe even something different for the old hands to try )

Love to all

Probably the yeast in the beer that did it? Anyway one to try for sure!

It was a little yeasty, which his about the only reason I'd bother with a bit of sugar, but all in all it was a worthwhile endeavour!xxx

Can anyone tell me how much is in a cup? I have searched but honestly, I have never found anything with the search facility, it brings up a hundred threads and none of them seem to have any relevance. It would take hours to check them all, so I'm hoping someone will have an easy answer

I'd like to give this one a go, brilliant idea using yorkshire pudding tray

Well in honesty I wasn't sure about the cups either, we don't have a single cup in the house, ( I drink from pint mugs) so just used the smallest china mug and it seemed to work fine, (which incidentally when topped to the brim (after checking in the measuring jug)was the 12 fluid oz required)

The yorkie tin worked really well, I'd probably fill the dips more than I did when doing it again because although they rose really well, they were still quite toty wee rolls.

It is a really wet dough so don't bother with trying to bloomer it, it just ends up a bit dissapointing because of the sink and spread, I'm going to invest in a loaf tin, (or see if my mum has one going a begging) and try it again, I think that would probably be more successful still.HTH.xxx

quick conversion guide
20 mL = 1 tablespoon
60 mL = ¼ cup = 2 fl oz
80 mL = 1/3 cup = 2¾ fl oz
125 mL = 1/2 cup = 4 fl oz
250 mL = 1 cup = 8 fl oz
1 litre = 4 cups = 32 fl oz

This is the site i've always used when needing to convert from cups to an english measurement, and found it very reliable. i'm told that you can buy the "cup" scoops to measure out in cups in Asda, but i have to say that i think weighing things, provided your scales are accurate, is better, more accurate. But that may be a personal prejudice *S*..

hope that helps - and interesting looking recipe..

A US cup is 8 fl oz
1/2 cup is 4 fl oz

An American pint is 16 fl oz not 20 like a British pint. So a cup is their half pint measure.

If you see American recipes calling for quarts (2 pints = a quart of a gallon) remember that it means 32 fl oz, which is just over 1 1/2 British pints or roughly the same as a litre.
HTH:)

Interesting sounding recipe btw.

flufff

Reckon these would be lovely with a beef stew

Is this the same for dry ingredients such as flour, these are liquid measurements - it always confuses me
