Gluten-free beer bread loaf
This gluten free bread is elevated to a whole new level with the addition of beer. The flavours are delicious and a slice or two would be ideal as an addition to a ploughman's lunch, or indeed to make the simplest of cheese and pickle sandwiches.

I've made this twice now. Subbed 75g of the GF flour for GF porridge oats, sprinkled the top with oats after proving and baked in breadmaker on GF setting. Amazingly stable and moist bread. What's more, it stays moist for a good few days. It's now my staple. Love it. Thank you so much xx - 30 Jan 2018
The batter rose above my pan the first time I made it and drooped over the sides so I cut a strip of aluminum foil in half length-wise, oiled the sides (and bottom). of the pan, placed the aluminum just around the sides, extending it above the sides and sprayed oil on the foil (the oil on the pan will hold the foil in place). Worked like a charm! Great bread, my husband loves it. - 09 May 2015 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Super moist and not at all dense or crumbly like so many gluten-free breads turn out. This is a great sandwich bread. (I added 1 Tbsp. of yeast to the mix and didn't use the milk and poppy seeds on top.) - 16 Sep 2014 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
