Beer can be substituted for water and yeast in bread recipes. The key to getting a good rise is to begin with warm beer. Cold beer will not rise as well.

Ingredients:
| 4 ounces | jarlsberg or Swiss cheese |
| 3 cups | all-purpose flour |
| 3 tablespoons | sugar |
| 3 teaspoons | baking powder |
| 1 1/2 teaspoons | 1-1/2 salt |
| 1/2 teaspoon | pepper |
| 1 bottle | (12 ounces) warm beer or nonalcoholic beer |
| 2 tablespoons | butter, melted |
Directions:
Divide cheese in half. Cut half of cheese into 1/4-inch cubes; shred remaining cheese. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and pepper. Stir beer into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in cheese.
Transfer to a greased 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pan. Drizzle with butter. Bake at 375° for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Yield: 1 loaf (12 slices).
