I got this recipe out of the "Ultimate Beer Lover's Cookbook" with the authors permission. Instead of putting the ingredients in a bowl and mixing them, I put them directly in the bread machine starting from the bottom and ending with the yeast. It turned out great!!

I made the recipe in my bread machine. Of note: This is a 1.5 lb loaf recipe and you should have your beer and other ingredients at room temperature for most bread machines. An excellent recipe that is almost too indulgent. Great with soups or stews. Try Wisconsin "Beer Cheese Soup". You may have to look for that one until I submit it.
