Ingredients:

3 c. self-rising flour
2 T. granulated sugar
1 (12 oz.) can lite beer (room temperature)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 T. water

Directions:

Combine flour, sugar and room temperature beer in a medium mixing bowl.

Transfer mixture to a bread pan (preferably non-stick) which has been coated with non-stick spray.

Allow dough to sit for 15 minutes to rise.

Meanwhile, mix lightly beaten egg with water in a small bowl, set aside, and preheat oven to 375°F.

After allowing dough a full 15 minutes to rise, brush top of dough with egg/water mixture and
bake in preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until loaf is firm and golden.

Remove from oven; turn loaf out of bread pan and cool on a wire rack.

Slice with a serrated bread knife to avoid compressing the bread.

Yields 8 to 10 servings.

Recipe Notes:

(1) This dense, flavorful bread is frequently used in preparing French toast and croutons;
also excellent sliced, spread with garlic butter and toasted under the broiler to serve with soup, salad or entrées.
