Imperial Stout Bread

Directions

1. 1
   Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl; whisk gently till completely mixed. (Or if you're not a lazy cook like me, sift your dry ingredients together into the bowl--I prefer to whisk, however!).
2. 2
   Add beer and stir with wooden spoon till flour is totally incorporated.
3. 3
   Pour batter (it will be rather thick) into a well-greased bread pan.
4. 4
   Bake at 375 deg. F. for an hour, or till loaf is nicely browned and tests done when tapped.
5. 5
   Cool on wire rack slightly before serving. Will keep about a week wrapped up in the fridge.
