Cheesy beer bread – Every January my beloved mother used to promise to bake all of our bread for our packed lunches that year.This memory has put me off baking bread rather… that is until I stumbled across the basis for this very simple and tasty recipe. So easy and rather irritatingly for my Mother…my kids love it!
