GREAT FOR GIFT GIVING

Herbed Beer Bread Mix is a great food gift idea for the holiday season or any time of year! Also a great thing to sell at a bake sale!

In the photo above, I used a 5.5″ wide by 9.5″ high plastic zippered bag for the mix.

I use a tall container or glass and a wide-mouth plastic funnel which made it easier to scoop the mix into the bags.

Package it up with a can of beer in a gift bag with the mix and you have a lovely hostess gift or gift for any occasion.

Either variation is delicious with a hot bowl of soup or as a side for dinner. Add it to a charcouterie board for another tasty option.

Honey butter is quick and easy to make and delicious spread on the baked Beer Bread. To make the honey butter, in a small mixing bowl combine butter, honey and vanilla and stir well to combine.

Everything Bagel Seasoning Mix (makes approximately 1/3 cup of mix)

This will make close to 1/3 cup of seasoning. You will only need 1 tbsp. plus 2 tsp. (optional to sprinkle on top of the loaf) of the seasoning to mix into the bread and 2 tsp. to sprinkle on top with the cheese.
