Beer Bread

Easy, delicious, and it makes your house smell like a cheap bar.  I'm not sure if that is a good thing, but the bread is.  Tastes amazing with a hearty soup on a cold day.  Don't be freaked out because of the kneading - it is quick.  The bread will have a goofy shape when done, but you will eat it quickly so it really doesn't matter.

3 1/2 cups flour
3 Tbs. sugar
1 Tbs. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. salt
12 ounces beer
1 egg, beaten

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix dry ingredients in a bowl, add beer (no sips, please!).  Stir together and roll out onto a floured surface and knead into a ball.  Place on a baking sheet and cut an X into the top with a sharp knife.  Brush with egg.  Bake about 45 minutes.  Enjoy!
