Recipe: Basil Beer Bread

When I found this recipe, I was attacted by its simplicity (basically there is only 1 step, that is, to mix everything together... hehe... it suits me well). And, not to forget, I have basil plant at my place and have no idea on when to use it except for creamy cheese spaghetti. But, the thing is, I over-estimated the weight of basil leaves. I thought 10 leaves will make up 30g. At the end, I have to clear all (try to imagine the basil plant is "botak" now) for this bread.

About the taste, it tasted like... beer (but not as strong as you drink as sugar was added). It is bitter for me cox I don't like beer very much. I think next time I got to substitute the beer with milk. But I have to plant some new basil plants first... ;) hehehe...

If you like to try on something different, it is good to experiment on.
Here is the recipe.

Ingredients:
  • 375g self-raising flour
  • 30g chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp crushed black pepper
  • 375ml beer

Steps:

  1. Mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl.
  2. Bake in 50 minutes at 160Âșc .

Extra easy, right?
