3 c. self-rising flour
1 can beer
3 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt

Mix all ingredients well. Put in large, well-greased loaf pan. Place in preheated 350 degree oven immediately, on middle rack. Bake about 45 minutes. Give lots of room as it rises high. (I like to put a greased collar of foil around pan before pouring dough in). Brush with well-beaten egg whites and bake 5-10 minutes more.

Variations: 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 tablespoon dry onion soup mix or 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 3 tablespoons powdered sugar. We don't eat much bread so when company is coming, this has saved me many a time.
