LIGHT BEER BREAD 
1 (12 oz.) can light beer
3 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
3 tbsp. sugar
1/2 c. water
4 1/2 to 5 c. all-purpose flour
2 pkgs. dry yeast
1 1/2 tsp. salt

Combine beer, water, and oil in a saucepan; heat to 120 to 130 degrees. Combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, the whole wheat flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl; add beer mixture. Beat 5 minutes at medium speed. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead 8 to 10 minutes. Place dough in a cooking spray coated bowl, turning to grease the top. Cover; let rise in a warm place until double. Punch down. Divide into half. Shape in loaves. Place into 2 (9 x 5 x 3 inch) loaf pans coated with cooking spray. Cover; let rise 45 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. 88 calories per 1/2 inch slices.
