Rosemary Beer Bread

Breakfast, Snacks.
Beer isn’t just for drinking anymore! This simple recipe uses beer instead of yeast, and the result is a dense bread with a ton of flavour.  I like to spread it with roasted garlic, and serve it with a hearty soup or vegetarian chili.

1.5 cups / 375 ml all-purpose flour
1/5 cups / 375 ml whole wheat flour
