sliced homemade Beer Bread


This recipe was developed by me for Negra Modelo. All opinions are 100% my own.

You all know I’m not much of a drinker. And you also know I’d never leave my house if I didn’t have to. Bwah! But sometimes, some things…some people…are just worth stepping outside your comfort zone for.

I would say Top Chef Master, 7-award winning cookbook author, award winning restaurant owner, and TV show host Chef Rick Bayless is one of them, no?

I met him a couple of years ago at a cooking demo in San Francisco, and have been making his amazing Chimichurri sauce ever since.

His authentic Mexican cuisine is outstanding. And his love and enthusiasm for it is simply unmatched.

Negra Modelo

He’s also an enormous fan of the Mexican beer, Negra Modelo. So, the two partnered up and decided to come back to San Francisco for a foodie walking tour around the Mission.

This included the most amazing handmade, fresh off the grill huaraches, a butcher shop where we tasted pork ribs, and then off to a bakery where I devoured an Ojo de Buey, which are these two scones glued together by strawberry jam and covered in coconut. OMG.

Negra Modelo

Negra Modelo is the perfect complement to all of these foods. Born at the quarter of the 20th century, their Brewmasters created the Munich Dunkel (dark) style lager by slow roasting caramel malts, a technique that makes the brewing process last twice as long as other beers. Negra Modelo combines the finest Galena hops and yeast varieties with a liberal dose of toasted two-row black malts giving it a balanced, smooth flavor.

We ended the evening at a Mexican restaurant where we got to sample food, Negra Modelo, and learn all about peppers, onions, and avocados <<< super fun.

And I got to bring home some beer to play with, of course!

I decided to bake up some easy beer bread. And, friends, I loved this. LOVED. Who knows why, but beer, brown sugar, and butter just creates a trifecta of deliciousness.

This loaf didn’t even last a day! Crazy good.

  2. I am so jealous that you get to meet so many great chefs! Perks of living near a big city, I suppose…. I’ll keep my mouth shut about the Negra Modelo, but this bread is definitely a keeper! Can’t wait to try it with some of Billy’s favorite beers.

  4. That sounds like my kind of walking tour! And I just happen to be head over heels for beer bread. I mean, really, why wait for yeast to rise when you can get this in the oven in under 10 minutes.

  10. Call me jealous! When we visited SF we were lucky enough to have locals take us to the good Mexican joints. The best food! Also beer bread might just be the easiest quick bread out there.

  13. Hanging out with Rick Bayless is not only worth leaving the house, but also worthy of putting on real clothes and make-up! What an awesome opportunity. Beer bread is my favorite quick bread. It’s so easy that every meal can have fresh bread with it.

  24. Ummm…Negra Modelo is my favorite beer, Rick Bayless is my favorite chef, and I’m so green with envy that I can’t see straight. I need a slice (okay loaf) of this delicious beer bread to soothe me. ;)

  25. That day was SO fun with you!! I wish we could drive into the city and eat good food every week! So many laughs, so many pastries (I still love that snowball-looking one the best!), so many memories… And I totally wish I could’ve tasted this bread! It looks incredible Amy! :) Pinned!

  • If you’ve never roasted spaghetti squash, you must. If for no other reason than it’s fun. After simply roasting it, you scrape the innards with a fork to get long strands, resembling spaghetti. It’s pretty neat. And effortless.⁣ .⁣ On it’s own, spaghetti squash is fairly bland, but combined with butter, onion, garlic, and Parmesan, it comes alive and is completely yummy!⁣ .⁣ This simple side is one if my favs and pretty much goes with everything!⁣ .⁣ RECIPE HERE: https://bellyfull.net/2010/11/16/spaghetti-squash-with-onion-garlic-and-parmesan/⁣ .⁣ #vegetablelover #veggies #alltheveggies #eatmoreveggies #eatmorevegetables #healthyfoodlover #healthyfoodrecipes #roastedveggies #roastedvegetables #sidedish #sidedishes #eatdelicious #soogood #squash #spaghettisquash #italianeats
