But last night I tried a modified recipe for beer bread that turned out VERY well.
Spicy Beer Bread
3 cups self rising flour
1/2 cup sugar
12 oz. chili cerveza
(http://www.glibeer.com/products/pancho_verde_chili_cerveza/ is the brand I used)
Almost 2 tbsp of fried garlic (found at the local oriental market)
Large dash of cayenne
2 tbsp melted butter
Dollop of Sambal Oelek chili paste
Mix the dry ingredients well, add the beer. Pour in to a floured loaf pan and bake at 350 for 55 minutes.
While waiting, mix the melted butter and Sambal.
In the last 3 minutes brush the top of the bread with the butter.
I forgot to take pictures.... but I'll be making more! It tasted wonderful!
I'm also going to try a sweeter variation with cinnamon and ginger... maybe use brown sugar instead... hmmm....
