| Cherry Almond Beer Bread |
It's another snowy day here in PA, and what better way to warm up than to bake a loaf of bread! OK, I know it might be more fun to sit under a blanket with a good book or watch a movie while snuggling someone you love, but honestly, I don't think there is any better smell in the world than bread baking in the oven. And when it only takes a couple of minutes to mix a dough from scratch, I swear the aroma is even sweeter. This recipe is a simple twist on my original Beer Bread, with a few extra flavor enhancers added in. The result is a bread with just enough sweetness to serve as a dessert, but not so much that you think it's a cake. I like using different flavors of beer as the inspiration and with all the varieties available today, the options are honestly endless. So experiment with your favorite and get baking!
*I know I usually take a photo of the bread after cutting a few slices, but this bread was so delicious that as soon as I cut it and tried a piece, my kids and I devoured it. Sorry!
