Bacon Beer Bread
Prep Time 1 hour hour
Servings 1 Loaf
Ingredients
- 250 g Streaky bacon
- 500 g Self-raising flour
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 340 ml Beer
- 1/3 cup Water
- 1 Egg Whisked
- 1 cup Cheddar Grated
Instructions
- Grease a flat-bottomed potjie (about 25 cm wide) with cooking spray. Line the pot with the bacon. Don’t worry if the pieces are too long – simply let them hang over the side.
- Sift the flour into a big mixing bowl. Stir through the salt and sugar. Pour the beer, water and egg into the middle of the mixture and combine.
- Stir in the cheese and pour the batter into the pot lined with the bacon. Drape the bacon ends lightly over the batter.
- Spread layer of coals in a circle slightly larger than the pot. Rest the pot on a braai triangle or flat rocks in the middle to allow the heat to circulate.
- Put some coals on the lid and bake for an hour over consistent heat. If a knife inserted in the centre of the bread comes out clean, it’s cooked through.
