Beer Bread (low sodium and whole-grain)

This is a quick bread that’s easy to make after work.

3 cups assorted whole-grain flours (I used 1.5. cups whole wheat, 1/2 cup coarse rye, 1/2 cup oat bran and 1/2 cup cornmeal last time I made it)

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp dried herbs

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper (or to taste)

1 12-ounce beer

1 package of rapid rise yeast

1 T honey or molasses

Mix flours, baking powder and seasonings together in large bowl.  Pour beer into microwave-safe measuring cup and microwave until warm (approximately one minute).  Add yeast and honey to the beer and set aside for a few minutes.

Add beer mixture to flours and stir to combine.  Spoon into greased loaf pan.  Let sit for 10 minutes.  Bake at 375 for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
