Cheddar and Chive Beer Bread

You can substitute the chives with basil, cilantro, or even minced onions as yummy variations ;-)

3 cups all purpose flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp baking powder
2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped, or 2 tsp dried
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, finely grated
12 oz. beer, room temperature

Preheat oven to 375°.

Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, chives, and cheddar in a large mixing bowl. Slowly stir in beer and mix just until combined. Batter will be thick.

Spread in a greased 8-inch loaf pan and bake about 45 minutes. (Test after 40 minutes with a toothpick to be on the safe side)
Cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool 10 more minutes before serving.

Go to youtube.com and type in "Artisan Bread in five minutes a day." You will find an amazing recipe. It is delicious, and uses regular unbleached flour, not expensive bread flour. I've been baking it for a few weeks and can't believe how easy it is. No kneading, no hard mixing. And tastes wonderful. There's a website too and lots of forums about it.
