Beer Bread (the staff of life) I think someone had this at a bake sale for the montessori school I went to as a small child. The loaf came with the recipe attached. It was that original recipe which dubbed it "the staff of life". I think I got a big kick out of this when I was younger, which is probably why I consider that a very important part of the title. I also like to brag about how easy it is, because it has only three ingredients... 3 cups self-rising flour* 3 tbsp. sugar 12 oz. beer (melted butter or margarine) (okay, so that's four, kind of) *3 cups self rising flour is the same as: 3 cups regular flour plus 4 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1 1/2 tsp salt (if you do it this way it's a lot more than three ingredients, I guess) Mix ingredients. Put in greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes. About halfway through, brush with melted butter (or margarine). You can whip this together in no time flat -- then it takes forever to bake, so plan accordingly!
