A bread among substitutions!

Bread is something I cannot live without.  Homemade bread has so much depth compared to most store bought brands.

I found this recipe while trying to dig out some munchies for the Superbowl.  I ended up not having all the ingredients after coming home from the grocery store (shame on me for not even checking!).  So, let the substitutions begin!  I was really surprised to find out that you can substitute corn starch for flour, 1/2 the portion or even corn meal for the full portion.  Learning something new again!

Country Beer Bread (original recipe)

3 C flour
3 T sugar
1 T baking powder
1 t salt

Preheat oven at 375.  Oil a loaf pan.  In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients.  Add the beer all at once and stir with a wooden spoon, mixture will be very sticky.  Put in loaf pan and bake for 35-45 minutes.  Cool on rack.
