Holiday Food and Treats: Bread Jar Mixes

Holiday Food and Treats Bread Jar Mix

I love homemade gifts. I love giving them and receiving them. For years now, one of my favorite to give and to receive and Jar Mixes. These jars are full of all the dry ingredients needed to make a particular bread, cookie, or brownie recipe to name just a few. The really pretty ones are layered with their colorful ingredients (see ideas below from Pinterest.) Two of my favorite are Sweet Bread Mix and Beer Bread Mix.

Beer Bread Mix (goes in a jar)

2 1/2 cups self rising flour
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning

How to bake Beer Bread Mix

(This gets written out, typed out and attached to jar mix)

Preheat oven to 375 degree F. Grease 9 X 5 loaf pan.
Stir together 1 can of beer with contents of jar.
Mix for 25 strokes only. Spread dough into greased loaf
pan. Melt 1/4 cup of butter and pour over top of dough.
Bake for 50 minutes. Allow to cool 5 minutes then
turn out onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool a minimum
of 30 minutes before slicing (that is if you can wait that long!)

ENJOY!
