It’s bread-baking time, friends, and our Twelve Loaves bakers have a dozen Italian breads for you to choose from today.

I haven’t baked with these ladies for nearly a year due to a busy period, but this month’s theme was a siren song for me. You see, I am half Italian! Don’t let my German last name fool you; my mother is Italian.

While you’ll see some recipe titles in Italian on today’s list below my recipe, I’m veering from strictly authentic just a tad. I’m going to give you an Italianate bread, one that hints of Italy but which has American roots. We’re going to Italy by way of my backyard rosemary plant, some good Parmesan cheese, and a bottle of beer.

Rosemary Red Onion Beer Bread

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 60 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour, 5 minutes

Yield: 12 slices

Serving Size: 2 slices

Beer bread gets the Italian treatment with fresh rosemary, good Parmesan and some red onion to give it more punch.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups self-rising flour (+see note below)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely minced red onion
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons finely minced fresh rosemary
  • 1 (12-ounce) can or bottle beer
  • Garnish: 1 tablespoon melted butter

Directions

  1. Turn oven on to 350F degrees. Mist a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, add flour, sugar, cheese, onion and rosemary; stir well to combine. Stir in beer until flour is just moistened. Turn batter into prepared pan and set aside 30 minutes.
  3. Bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven and brush top with melted butter. Allow to sit 5-10 minutes before removing from pan; cool loaf on wire rack.
  4. Serves 6. Makes 12 slices.

Notes

+Note on flour: If you don't have self-rising flour, substitute 1 cup all purpose flour, 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder and a pinch of salt for EACH cup of self-rising flour called for in a recipe. So, for this recipe, it would be 3 3/4 teaspoons baking powder and 3 pinches salt, along with 3 cups all purpose flour.

Love this easy bread. My Irish American husband, who thinks he is half Italian because of how much he loves Italian food, will go crazy for this!

Laura,
You could Irish it up if you like!

Savory bread perfection, Dorothy! Lucky you that you’ve got homegrown rosemary to add. Undoubtedly the herb mixed with the onion (and beer!) gives this bread panache =)

Sounds mighty tasty to me!

I was planning on making a bread with stout beer this past weekend, evidently life got in the way, and I shall re-visit the issue later this month

Sally,
I like beer bread. You don’t have to plan ahead for whole yeast-rising thing!

Holly March 3, 2015 at 7:14 am

Wouldn’t this be nice with a hearty soup for a meal? I like the flavors and Italian plus American roots that you combined.

Reply

Dorothy Reinhold March 3, 2015 at 7:40 am

Thanks Holly, and yep, it is fantastic with soup!

Rossella March 3, 2015 at 2:38 am

I didn’t know your mother is Italian.
Your bread looks a like a synthesis of your roots. Well done.
