Last Minute Sprite Bread Recipe

I call this a Last Minute Sprite Bread Recipe, because it truly was made last minute.  Late in the afternoon I was trying to decide what to make for dinner to go along with our leftover corn beef.   I looked up some recipes for bread.  I came up with this easy Sprite bread recipe by combining a few different beer bread recipes and doing some improvising.

Important note: When making bread it is important to sift the flour.  This helps the bread come out light and bread-like.  If you do not sift, your bread can come out hard and brick-like.

Last Minute Sprite Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

• 3 cups of self rising flour sifted
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 teaspoon dry active yeast
• 1 can Sprite

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Grease a loaf pan.
• Mix all of the ingredients (reserving a few teaspoons of butter) either in the greased loaf pan or a separate bowl.   Do not over mix.  The dough should not have any dry ingredients visible.
• If you mixed your ingredients in the bowl, transfer to the dough to the loaf pan.
• Pour the remaining butter on top of the dough.
• Bake for around 45 minutes or until fully baked inside.  Use the toothpick test.  If an inserted toothpick comes out dry, the bread should be done.
• Remove the bread from the loaf pan.
• Let sit for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

It’s that easy!  The bread came out super moist with a nice hearty crust on the outside.  I’m snacking on the fresh, warm bread as I write this.
