Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
-
Grease a 2-1/2 quart baking dish or similar-sized loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Pour the sour cream and beer into the dry ingredients.
-
Mix thoroughly with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix or beat the batter vigorously.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top gently.
-
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes.
-
Remove the bread from the oven and brush the top generously with melted margarine.
-
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.
-
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
