'Blue Moon Caramel Apple Spiced Ale' Whole Wheat Bread

'Blue Moon Caramel Apple Spiced Ale' Whole Wheat Bread

This is YUMMY and really easy to make!  It is moist inside and the outside has the perfect crunch to it (just how I like my homemade bread).  The beer does not overpower the bread.  It gives it a nice sweet flavor with hints of the "spiced" part.  Not to mention it smells so good while it's baking.  I highly recommend cutting a piece right after it comes out of the oven, add a bit of butter to the hot bread and ENJOY! 

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 (12 oz bottle)  'Blue Moon Caramel Apple Spiced Ale'

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt and brown sugar. Pour in beer, stir until a stiff batter is formed. It may be necessary to mix dough with your hands. Scrape dough into prepared loaf pan.  You can also use a stand mixer with a dough hook (this is what I did).  Add additional beer or wheat flour as needed until batter is stiff.             
3. Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean.
