"Just add beer and butter"-possibly the five best words to be combined in one sentence. It's also the phrase you'll find gracing each box of Trader Joe's Beer Bread Mix. Preparation is simple enough: Stir 12 ounces of the beer of your choosing into the Mix, and add the dough to a greased loaf pan. Pour some melted butter over the top, pop it into the oven, and your work is done! No matter what kind of beer you use (a lager for a lighter loaf, an IPA for a hearty, hoppy taste, or a stout for a rich result with a slightly darker finished product), you'll end up with malty, buttery bread with a golden crust and tender crumb. And while we're fans of baking, we're also fans of enjoying fresh bread after a long day at work-this Mix provides that fresh-baked, belly-warming goodness, without the spend-all-weekend-making-it level of effort that usually accompanies such bread baking projects. Aside from its malty, buttery dreamy-ness and incredible convenience, the beauty of Trader Joe's Beer Bread Mix is you can customize it to your liking. Experiment with different beers, or to the dough. Serve the finished loaf with a bowl of your favorite chili or soup for supper-without a doubt, it's the craveable comfort food required in the face of blustery winter weather.
