HOBO BREAD

Terrific with stews and soups.

4 cups self-rising flour
1/2 cup grated cheese
1 tbsp dry basil or 2 tbsp fresh basil
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
3 to 4 cloves fresh garlic, chopped
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp chives, chopped
1/2 cup milk
1 can (12oz) beer

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter loaf pans.

In large mixing bowl, combine flour, cheese and basil.

In a saucepan, heat butter, parsley, garlic honey and chives until butter melts.

Remove from heat and add milk. Add beer and IMMEDIATELY add to dry ingredients. Combine gently ONLY until moistened. Divide dough evenly into the cans or pans.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-40 minutes, or until tops are very brown.

Slice and serve with butter. Leftovers can be sliced and popped into the toaster...if there are any.
