Easy beer bread is reduced fat and sugar and adds whole wheat flour. Using a light beer reduces the calorie count even more! Tastes so good, you would never know its light!

    This recipe makes a nice hearty bread that is much healthier than most. I opted to use 4 tbsp of sugar and skip the splenda, and I also left out the butter on the top. Instead, I sprinkled the with sesame seeds. It was great warm shortly after coming out of the oven, and also was great the next day smeared with fig preserves. This one is a winner. BTW, I used a Bud Light beer and the beer flavor was barely noticable (which is what I wanted).

    This is the best beer bread recipe I've tried so far. It has a lovely flavor. It is a good solid bread but not too dense. I used Killian's Irish Red beer, all sugar and light butter. I served it with stew. I usually like to let the dough set on the counter for about 15 minutes so it can rise a little before baking, but I didn't have time with this recipe. That's why I was so thrilled with how much it rose and how light it was compared to other recipes I have tried. I'll be making this one again!
