Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
  2. Grease a 2-1/2 quart baking dish or similar-sized loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. If using self-rising flour, omit the baking powder and salt.
  4. If using mixed herbs, stir them into the dry ingredients now. You can also add other herbs like dried basil, oregano, sage, or rosemary to taste.
  5. Pour the sour cream and beer into the dry ingredients.
  6. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix or beat the batter vigorously.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top gently.
  8. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes.
  9. Remove the bread from the oven and brush the top generously with melted margarine.
  10. Return the bread to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  11. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
