• 1 tsp sea salt
• 2 tbsp caster sugar
• about 325ml beer
• butter, to serve

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 180˚C/fan 160˚C/gas 4. Grease 6 mini loaf tins, about 4 × 9cm and 3cm deep, or 1 large loaf tin, about 17 × 10cm.

2. Combine the flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Slowly add 300ml beer, stirring with a wooden spoon until the mixture becomes fairly wet and gloopy. If it isn’t gloopy, add a little more beer until it is. Pour into the tin(s) and bake for 25-30 minutes if using the smaller tins, or 40 minutes for the large tin, until the top is crusty and pale-golden. Cool in the tin(s) for 10 minutes.

3. Turn out the bread and serve warm or at room temperature within a few hours of baking, with butter.
