The Husband and I picked up this $6 bread mix, made by Mannons Foods, a while back and I finally got around to making it. Seeing as the Broncos played (and WON) today, and we were headed over to our friend’s house to watch, it seemed like the ideal thing to bring. And on top of that, I made it with our favorite local brew, Fat Tire from New Belgium. Oh yeah, and the bread mix is made in Colorado, too!
All I had to do was combine the mix with 12 ounces of beer, pour it into a greased loaf pan and bake it for 50 minutes. That’s it.
It smelled incredible as it baked, too. So what’s in the magic bag? Check out the ingredients:
Bleached Enriched Flour, Sugar, Baking Powder, Chile Peppers, Onions, Salt, Garlic & Jalapeno Peppers.
The mix can be used as a batter on veggies, too. 1/8 cup of the dry mix contains 100 calories, no fat, and 2 grams of protein.
I let it cool for about 5-10 minutes before removing (quite easily) from the pan.
I wrapped it foil and about an hour later, it was still warm. It sliced very easily.
We were all very impressed! The bread was moist and had so much flavor. The Red Chile was not overpowering, nor was the beer taste. It would be great paired with soup, or even drizzled with some agave. You can find all kinds of products from Mannons Foods and have them shipped directly to you.
I haven’t attempted to make bread since moving to CO, but this looks like something even I couldn’t mess up! I’m going to order some of that mix right now!
Great! I was pretty impressed with the mix. I’d like to try some of their other ingredients. If you want to try a no-fail bread here in CO, try: this Pesto-Potato Bread It’s so easy and so yummy!
Looks great! I am totally making it this (and thanks for using Fat Tire!).
You can’t go wrong with Fat Tire!
