ʻUlu Cheese n' Chives Beer Bread
Yield: 1 loaf - 10 servings
This is my mom's classic beer bread recipe that I grew up eating - taken up a notch using locally sourced ʻulu flour and local brewed lager. It has a crunchy and crusty exterior and soft and tender inside with delicate onion notes and a cheesy finish that perfectly compliments the earthiness of the ʻulu and the maltiness from the beer. Served warm with butter, its a quick and easy side for any meal.
Ingredients
2 cups All-purpose flour
1 cup ʻUlu flour
3 Tbsp. Raw sugar or honey
4 ½ tsp. Baking powder
1 ½ tsp. Salt
1 12oz. Can or bottle local beer (I used Ola Brew Maʻa Island Lager)
1 bunch Chives, chopped
1 bulb Shallot, thinly sliced
½ cup Mild shredded cheese (I used Mozzarella) plus more for topping
1 Tbsp. Butter, melted
Directions
Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Add beer, chives, shallots, and cheese then mix well.
- Place dough in greased loaf pan.
- Pour melted butter on dough and sprinkle extra shredded cheese on top.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 min.
- Slice and serve warm with butter.
