About
Watch-My-Beer Bread is just a funny name for the tastiest beer bread around! You get to watch as an average bottle of beer transforms into a tender, buttery loaf of bread just loaded with melty, creamy cheese! Watch-My-Beer Bread is so delicious it doesn't even need butter on it... although we won't stop you from adding it, or even a sweet jam to bring out even more of the amazing malty flavor!

- 2 tablespoons butter, melted, plus more, to taste, room temperature, for greasing the pan
