Whole Wheat Garlic & Herb Beer Bread
Easy55 mins
I think that beer bread will forever be one of my favorite sides to prepare.
It’s quick (less than 10 minutes to prep), it calls for ingredients I pretty much always have on hand, it makes your home smell heavenly, and…let’s face it…it makes delicious use of a bottle of beer. What’s not to love?
One of my recent spins on my favorite
recipe is this easy whole wheat garlic and herb beer bread.
Made with white whole wheat flour (my favorite), it is a step healthier than the traditional all-purpose flour version.
Then with the addition of lots of minced garlic and bunches of herbs (you can use dried or fresh), this turns into an Italian-y bread packed with flavor and goodness.
It’s perfect as a side dish, as toast, as bread for a sandwich, or just to be enjoyed plain right out of the oven.
I’ll say cheers to that!
Yield: 1 loaf
Whole Wheat Garlic Herb Beer Bread
Beer bread goes Italian with delicious garlic and herbs!
Ingredients:
3 cups white whole wheat flour
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 Tbsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dried rosemary
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 bottle (12 ounces) beer
4 Tbsp. (half stick) butter, melted
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic, sugar, baking powder, salt, rosemary, thyme and oregano. Gently stir the beer into the dry ingredients until just mixed.
Pour half the melted butter into the loaf pan, using a spoon to be sure that it evenly coats the bottom of the pan. Then transfer the bread batter to the pan and use a spoon to spread it out even. Pour the rest of the butter on top of the batter, using a pastry brush or spoon to spread it around evenly on top.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until top is golden brown and a toothpick/knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Serve immediately.

Greetings!
is Donna Miller.& You may have heard of me from
one of my radio shows or perhaps you attended one of
my training
classes.& Regardless of how you got here, I am very
pleased that you made it to the site and look forward to
meeting you in the future.
If you don't
mind I would like to share something with you.
be something you are also dealing with.
Years ago,
I was completely lost in my own kitchen.& I
really had no idea what I was doing and got terribly
frustrated anytime
my husband would comment on my meals.& I was determined
to do something about it, but really had no clue on where
to begin.&
Obviously,
I could follow a recipe, but even that was a challenge
for me when I didn't fully understand
the relationship of the ingredients.& So, I began
researching everything I could in order to try and gain
some skills.
I was shocked at
some of the things that I found out!&&
research, I learned a lot about many of the ingredients that
have been used in our cooking and meal preparation.&
Since my family
usually has bread with most of our meals,
I was especially interested with what I would find out about
the ingredients that we were consuming within our breads.& I
was buying my bread from the local grocer so
it was pretty
easy for me to begin there with
my research.&&
ever &really& looked at the labels on the breads in your grocery store?&
Let me encourage you to take some time to not only look at
the ingredients, but also do a little research on the way
the bread is prepared for the shelf-life of the grocery
store.& You may find it a bit concerning.& For me,
if I am going to offer it to my family to consume - I really
want to know a little bit about it.
Anyway, the
point for me is I used to
not look at food labels at all.& In fact, I was pretty
naive to assume that everything on the grocery store shelves
was okay to consume and maybe even reasonably healthy for
you.& Little did I know!&&
Obviously,
bread companies work to produce a product that
can last on grocery shelves for as long as it takes to
sell.& Do you ever wonder what they have to add to the
bread in order to preserve it with the appearance of being
fresh?& Again, you can do your own research - but for
me, I want to do everything possible to feed my family
healthy, fresh, and delicious foods.& Especially
Family Get to Indulge in the Absolute Pleasure of Having
Fresh Baked Bread in the Pantry?
After doing
my research and reading everything I could find about
breads, I decided it was necessary for me to make my own
bread.& And... I didn't want to just make it from white
flour from the grocery store.& I wanted to make
fresh whole wheat bread.& I wanted my family to
watch me knead my bread and smell the unmatched aroma of
fresh baked bread as it circulated throughout the
home.& It's been absolutely wonderful!
after going through a lot of flat, dense, and even
rock-heavy bread failures - I learned what it takes to make
a beautiful loaf of fresh whole wheat bread.& In fact,
I've spent the last few years actually teaching classes
(including many people who grew up making their own bread)
and offering retreats on how to make bread from home.&
Some call me an expert at making whole wheat bread, but I
don't particularly care for that title.& I prefer
knowing that I've learned how to make a delicious and
healthy loaf of bread that still has all the nutrients from
the grains.&& I am thrilled that my family loves
my bread, and are excited every time they smell a fresh loaf
baking.&&&
Trust me, I
KNOW that it can be very frustrating trying to impress family and friends by making
your first loaf of homemade bread and it does not come out
right.& It may be too hard, too doughy or too crumbly. None
of these are a good result for your first time. You may
suffer the embarrassment of a bread-making disaster, and may
run into resistance for your future attempts.& Even though some of your family
members may brush it off as your first attempt, you may feel
bad because you really wanted your bread making to be successful.
easy to be embarrassed when you really are doing it for all
the right reasons, and it just doesn't turn out the way you thought. It's
the same way with making bread. You want people (especially
your family) to like what you're making.& After all,
we're talking a much healthier alternative to
the bread preserved on the shelves at the grocery

Describe the the worst FLOP (in visual, taste and outcome terms) that you've had in whole wheat bread making.
My bread came-out as heavy as a brick!
Over-rising the dough is my
worst problem. Tasted great but looked terrible.& It
was an embarrassment to serve.
I got a recipe from online.& The recipe called for too much salt.& You
really have to be careful with on-line accuracy.
Biggest flop was when I left
it to rise and didn't get back in time-it fell,
but the flavor was great.&
Bread was tough and filled with holes
Bricks and mortar!
Too hard for human consumption!
Made my rolls too dense!
Well, one loaf turned out like a brick and another had a
blow-out side. The one with the side issues tasted okay,
but the brick ended up as breadcrumbs.
Usually the only thing that would be considered a flop is
that the seam didn't seal, so the bread comes apart
underneath.

too wet in the middle.
