&'s favorite bread

Inspired by Laura K.'s beer bread recipe. This comes together in minutes, makes a fine "what shall we bring?" addition to any dinner party, and is a great way to use up those bottles of crappy Yuengling beer that somehow materialized in the back of my fridge. & loves it with curry but you could substitute cinnamon or green herbs for a different effect. If you use lousy beer, you don't get any beery flavor at all in the loaf.

Curry Beer Bread

3 cups flour
2 Tbsp sugar
4 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp curry powder
1 bottle of beer (Yuengling serves)
1/2 stick butter, melted

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Add beer and stir until dough comes together (it will be sticky). Scrape into greased 9"x5" loaf pan. Spoon half of the melted butter over the top of the dough. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Brush with remaining melted butter. Bake for about 25 minutes more.
