IRISH BEER & CHEESE BREAD

A few people have asked me for this recipe, so here it is. Not mine, I found it on the Internet and I wish I remembered where because she deserves all the credit. I just followed her directions. Very simple, very fattening and very very yummy!

Irish Beer and Cheese Bread

Ingredients: 

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded 

1 cup extra sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded 

½ cup Dubliner cheese, shredded 

3¼ cups all-purpose flour 

1 tablespoon baking powder 

1 teaspoon dry mustard 

½ teaspoon kosher salt 

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper 

¼ teaspoon white pepper 

1 large garlic clove, minced or pressed through a garlic press 

¾ cup sour cream 

1¼ cup beer, Irish Red Ale 

1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce 

1 egg

Directions: 

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9×5 loaf pan and set aside. 

1. Grate all the cheeses, keeping them separated. Measure out the necessary amounts listed above. 

2. From the measured piles of cheese, separate out about ¼ cup of the sharp cheddar, ¼ cup of the white cheddar and ⅛ cup of the Dubliner and reserve for topping the bread later. 

3. In a large bowl, combine the remaining cheeses, the flour, baking powder, salt, mustard, peppers and garlic. Stir to coat the cheese in flour. 

4. In a small bowl whisk together the sour cream, beer, worcestershire sauce and egg.

5. Pour into dry mixture. 

6. Mix the dough just until combined. Scoop dough into prepared pan and push down to evenly spread the dough across the pan. Sprinkle with reserved cheese. 

7. Bake for about 50 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
