Hmm this was so easy and very tasty. I did not add to the recipe. I tried it plain – yum, with butter, even yummier and a used a buttered piece to mop up the juices of a leftover nannys braised steak i’d reheated for lunch. This really is a winner. I can see how it could be added to for a savoury side to a main meal (ie per the suggestions in the recipe) . I will also try some later/tomorrow with jam or honey, for the sweet aspect. It will rock. Being lazy, I used oil spray instead of baking paper…this produced a very crusty bottom and edge (which I like) but when I do this again i will use baking paper to see the difference in texture. Overall, I recommend you give this a go. I used a 3.5. Thanks Sherrie Sutcliffe
My husband made this bread today and it is yummy. He is very pleased with himself, worth the bottle of beer!!! He found it very ease to make and the smell when it was baking was delightful. Thank you Sherrie for a terrific recipe !!
This is my go to for a savoury morning tea…I use pizza sauce, bacon and cheese…
What size bottle of beer ? Please?
OH MY. THIS IS GREAT. I HAVE PICTURES BUT NOT SURE HOW TO ON THIS. SO ANYWAYS THE TASTE IS NOT SWEET MORE OF EARTHY TASTE. SOFT CRUST WHICH IS GREAT FOR ME. IT DID COOKED ONLY TWO HOURS ON HIGH. CHEWY. I LOVE THIS!
Thank you for your feedback Priscilla – so pleased you enjoyed it 🙂
Second time with this recipe. Added a bit of garlic powder and some cheddar cheese.
Good stuff
My bread didn’t seem to rise all that much . And I needed to pay attention to my “ball” when putting it in cause it is very misshaped . Haven’t eaten yet got another half hour more to go . Can you tell me if I did anything wrong used self rise flour and beer .
I gave mine an extra 20 minutes cooking time. I greased the ceramic slow cooker with butter, no baking paper and it turned out well and browned all over, perhaps a little ‘moist’ in the centre (but I like that not ‘ dry’ ) when cooled. Great flavour, one needs willpower when eating this Moorish bread…if possible!!
I found I bought 500ml cans of beer (Canadian in Australia?) so will put 4 cups of S/R flour as recommended by an oven cooking recipe (hope that works OK) and cook maybe half to 3/4 of an hour on high longer.. will test with a wooden skewer before removing. Test run as I have 3 cans to use to make this bread only.
