I'm asked to bring this savory loaf to nearly every function I attend. It's great as a side dish, but if you're in the mood for an extraordinary sandwich, start with two slices of beer bread. —Betsy King, Duluth, Minnesota

This quick bread is very good and the consistency is almost biscuit-like. I will be making this bread again and possibly switch up the herbs depending on what I have on hand.
