After finding this recipe for apricot beer bread I thought that it would be the perfect recipe to incorporate our favourite McAuslan apricot beer. The kitchen opens at five - bread service at eight. Stay tuned!

Much later…. the result:

Is it supposed to be this … um.. stumpy? It tastes fine and almost cake-like. I’m just not sure this recipe was tweaked enough for the bread machine. I think I should have used the bread machine to do the kneading and popped the loaf in the oven.

It’s ok and edible, but I guess I expected it to be more… well… bready.
