Bake Beer Bread for Dad

June 16, 2011

This quick bread is a perfect gift for Father's Day.  Serve it with breakfast so the rest of the family can try a slice.  You can make this the night before or just prep the ingredients and bake in the morning.  I would choose a darker beer for this recipe, something with a toasted flavor.  For a sweeter flavor, you might try a honey lager.  If your Dad doesn't care for spice, feel free to omit the green chiles.  You can also add 1 teaspoon of chile powder for a milder spice.  Your Dad will appreciate the baked surprise.
