The Poor Girl's Guide to Superhero Recipes: Honey Wheat Beer Bread

After a Peroni semi-exploded in our refrigerator, I become concerned that the beer would go flat before it would be consumed, as we are not heavy drinkers. So, after careful consideration, I decided to bake some bread. Some awesome bread. Made with on-the-way-to-death bottled beer. Beer that the Grim Reaper was staking our house to retrieve at any moment. Apocalyptic Mayan beer. Ok. You get the point. This beer was going to almost certainly go bad and be thrown away. And I just cannot have that kind of waste in my vicinity.

SO The Poor Girl's Guide to Superhero Recipes presents:

Honey Wheat 'DEAD' Beer Bread
ingredients:
3 cups wheat flour (you can use any kind flour really, but wheat is far healthier and I will judge you if you use white)
1/4 cup brown sugar (again, you can use white - but judgement will occur)
1 T baking powder
1 t salt
2-3 T honey
1 bottle o' beer
2 T melted butter (1/4 stick, yo)

instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a bread loaf pan, I use 9"x5".

Mix flour (better be WHOLE WHEAT, bitches), brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and whisk away.

Add beer, honey, and melted butter into dry mix and whisk away some more - the dough will get all stuck in your whisk and be ultra annoying. Just beat, roundhouse kick, karate chop, or left hook the shit right on outta there. 

Plop your dough into your greasy pan and bake for 45-60 minutes, depending on your oven. It took me right at about 45 minutes.
