Ale Bread Recipe

Ale Bread Recipe Rating 5

For a tender white loaf that's a bit moister and denser than other breads, try this simple recipe shared by Jeannine Norder of Eaton Rapids, Michigan. It's equally good whether you use beer of ginger ale.

This is our all-time favorite when made with ShinerBock Beer. I also do half white flour and half wheat.
