Fergie's Fennel Beer Bread

To continue with my Saint Patrick's Day "Theme" my husband asked if I would make him some beer bread.  So glad I did... super simple, and so tasty... I flavored it with Fennel Pollen (Which is not very easy to find) You can substitute with Fennel Seed. 

3 Cups Bread Flour 

1 Tablespoon Baking Powder

1 1/2 Teaspoons Kosher Salt

4 Tablespoons Sugar

1 Teaspoon Fennel Pollen or Fennel Seeds 

3 Tablespoons Melted Butter 

1 12-Oz can of Beer, Room Temperature

Combine all the dry ingredients and mix well... 

This is the fennel pollen I used, I bought it at Old Town Temecula Spice Co... 

Add the beer and the butter... 

Mix until just incorporated... 

I used a stone pan (it is not dirty, just seasoned)... generously spray with vegetable spray... 

Place in your pan and bake in a 375 degree oven for about an hour... 

Allow to cool before slicing... this bread is a bit sweet, moist and unlike anything you will have!!!
