I made this the other day and it was fantastic (and I promptly emailed the recipe to another friend, who made it to bring to a BBQ). Can't wait to make it again!! Marce, thank you so much!

I finally got entangled in this fantastic recipy!! I couldn't believe my eyes when what came out of the oven were delicious bread buns. And they were for real!! I hadn't so much faith in me as a bread maker, but it seems that I've made my few steps in the race. As I told you, I didn't use powdered milk; in fact, I didn't use milk at all, and it was ok. But I think that what was different from the ones that you did was that the surface of my rolls was rough... mmmm... Marce!! I finally got entangled in this fantastic recipy!!

As for the time it takes to double, I think it took like 40 minutes in the case of this bread. Of course, it depends on the temperature in your particular kitchen at that time, but I´m sure it can´t take more than 1 hour- 1 hour and 20 minutes for the second rise, so this is definitely a bread that is on the quicker end of the scale. Let me know how it goes if you try it out! Good luck :) Jill- I usually use plastic wrap for the first rise while in the bowl because it´s easier to wrap the plastic around the bowl and then a cloth to cover the bread once it´s in the pan for the second rising, but it´s a matter of ease of application in my case, it might rise faster with plastic wrap because no air gets in so there´s a higher temperature in there.

I think I remember my mom using cloth to cover bread when I was little... but I'm not sure, and I've never made bread myself before. How long should it take to double in size? Thanks!!

It's great with butter and jam! Paul makes a great beer bread but it doesn’t have yeast in it but I love the gentle flavour of the beer in the bread. It’s great with butter and jam!

Ilva- Please let me know how it turns out if you make it. I´m sure your photographs will be much much better than mine! haha Tanna- Definitely and thanks for the compliments on the photos, they were taken at night, so they are not really great, but the buns themselves are the cutest thing ever. Patricia- Yeah, that could be a problem! But you could always buy a small can of beer and make the bread really fast! Elle- Good to see that someone remembers poor Heidi! haha And thanks ;) Connie- I just don´t like the bitter nature of beers, and all beers are like that. Lisa- hahha I know what you meant by little buns, otherwise I would be suing you for phychological distress or something hahaha Gilly- Trust me, you won´t taste the beer itself, so I´m positive you´ll love these. Peabody- Maybe so, though I don´t think beer and me are supposed to get along haha Gourmet peasant- Yeah, I think the bubbly side of beer helps develop a nice crumb and the malt in beer is something used quite often in bread-making.

I, too, loathe beer in it's liquid form, but I've never made bread with it before - it actually sounds quite appealing! Hi Pip!
