Making Beer and Provolone Bread

I made this several months ago to serve with pasta, but completely forgot to post the recipe.

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup flour

½ cup old fashioned oats

2 t baking powder

½ t baking soda

½ t salt

4 oz smoked Provolone, grated

1½ cups light or dark beer (I used Dunkelweisse), flat

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a small loaf pan with cooking spray. Set aside.

In a large bowl, stir together dry ingredients. Add cheese and beer and stir til just moistened. Scrape the batter into the pan and spread evenly.

Bake til a toothpick inserted in the center and all the way to the bottom of the pan comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a rack for 5 to 10 minutes before removing to a rack to cool completely.

Hash ap. I looked through all my photos in April (when this was from) and I posted about 12 loaves. I don't remember which one it was.

(bigger sigh)

have you ever thought about trying out for the food network's "next food network star"? :)

☀ Aunt Shanny Jul 27, 2009, 9:09pm EDT

Maybe if I lost about 30 pounds :/

oh goodness....don't even go there!!! you could be a toothpick or you could be a blimp or anything in between. if you know what you're doing (which you do) & if you have a personality (which you do); it would be great fun to try it. :)

I have dreams of being Rachael Ray II. With the pit bull and all :)

Yeah, I think you should try for that! It's all about personality and you're a helluva lot better than Rachel Ray.

☀ Aunt Shanny Jul 28, 2009, 9:55pm EDT

I like her. I used to get tired of the bubbliness but now I just over look it since I think she's a good cook and pit bull advocate. I can put up with a lot from someone who loves pitties like I do.

Dang...no picture to salivate over something I can't have. Good thing I'm drinking a beer so I can at least have one ingredient...though it's not Dinkelweasel brand like you use.

Dinkelweasel"

Don't you mean Dunkyourweasel?

Go, Shanny! You know I don't usually bake bread, but I could do this one .. there's NO kneading! It sounds easy! And I love the ingredients. I might just try this one of these days.
