So, can we chat for just a sec about my newest obsession? Hard. Root. Beer. I know some of you all already know what I am talking about here, but for those of you who don't know today's post is about to enlighten you. ;) 

It is like the root beer you love from your childhood, but with a boozy kick. I have tried a few different ones now, but I have to say that most hard root beers start out tasting exactly like regular root beer with a slight beer taste on the end notes. Ever since I took my first sip of it I have been itching to bake with it. 

The first thing that comes to mind for me when I think of baking with beer is obviously beer bread. I love beer bread because it is so simple to make- it takes just a handful of ingredients, has no rise time thanks to the yeast in the beer, and you are less than an hour away from having fresh baked bread on your table. 

But hard root beer is sweet, folks. Just like you would expect it to be. So, I decided to use the hard root beer to make a super simple & sweet quick bread. In this Hard Root Beer Float Bread, a simple vanilla glaze is drizzled over top to act as the "float" part of this bread...

Bacon & Beer Bread Drops Biscuits

These Bacon & Beer Bread Drop Biscuits are ready in the fraction of the time of traditional beer bread and are even more delicious with the addition of bacon...

If there are two things that you all know that I love, it is bacon and craft beer.  And bread.

I love bread too. ;)

And yes, I know that they are not necessarily always the healthiest options, but as I always say- all in moderation, folks.

I love, love, love beer bread. (See my Homemade Peanut Butter Beer Bread for a tasty example of my adoration for it.)  But what I don't love is how long it takes to bake... close to an hour! Sometimes I just can't wait that long for some beer bread goodness, so I took matters into my own hands and came up with these beer bread drop biscuits.  And I threw some crispy bacon in there just for good measure...  ;)

Homemade Peanut Butter Beer Bread

If you have been following me on any of my social media outlets during the past few months (especially maybe Instagram), you have probably noticed my rather intervention-worthy addiction to Julie's Eats & Treats Homemade Beer Bread.

This beer bread is just so simple & turns out absolutely soft and delicious every single time that I bake it.  Plus, beer bread is one of those very rare homemade breads that does not require any rising time.  

Not even one minute.

You can thank the yeast and the carbonation in the beer for that, folks. ;)
