Beer Bread

I haven't posted much on this recipe blog, so I decided to add a couple of recipes.  This particular one is a Beer Bread recipe.  It's a really quick and easy beer bread and it's so yummy!  I wish I could remember where I got the recipe from.  I'm going to post the picture from the place I got it at, maybe someone will recognize it and can tell me so I can add a link to it.  So here it is:

Beer Bread Recipe

3½ cups all-purpose flour
3 Tbs. sugar
1 Tb. baking powder
1½ tsps. salt
12 ounces beer
1 egg, beaten

Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add beer (no sips!) and stir with a fork until just combined. Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead quickly to form a ball. Place bread on a baking sheet and confidently slit an X on top with a serrated or very sharp knife. Brush loaf with egg wash. Bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve.
