Ingredients

Butter, for the pan
3 cupsself-rising flour, sifted
1⁄2 tsp. fine sea salt
6 tspFreshly ground black pepper
12 ozbeer, preferably an IPA
Whipped feta

Preparation

1.
Butter a small loaf pan and set aside. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2.
In a large bowl, gently mix together the flour, salt, and pepper. Make a well in the middle, then pour in the beer. Stir gently with a fork until you have a sticky dough. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and form the dough into a loaf.
3.
Place the dough into the loaf pan and let it sit for 10 minutes before baking the bread in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Rotate the pan a half turn, then bake for 20 minutes more, until crisp and golden brown.
4.
While the bread is baking, prepare the whipped feta.
5.
Once the bread is finished baking, skewer the loaf to test for doneness. Let rest a few minutes, then slice and serve with whipped feta.
6.
Whipped Feta (makes 2 cups) 8 oz. feta cheese 8 oz. goat cheese 8 oz. organic cream cheese 1 tsp. pink Himalayan salt 1 tsp. cracked black pepper
7.
In a food processor, whip together the cheeses until they are airy and smooth. Spoon the whipped feta into a medium bowl, and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
