1. 1

   "To dry ingredients, you may add 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds, or 1/2 cup cooked rye, or 1/2 cup cooked oatmeal, or anything else that won't absorb much liquid. Mix all ingredients well (I usually mix the dry ones first). Put into greased loaf pan. Bake about an hour at 400. Test for doneness with wooden toothpick - it often looks done when it isn't. You can play with this recipe, so long as you keep the 2 1/2 cups of flour (and the baking powder and soda) and the beer constant. If you want it less sweet, cut down on the sugar. The smaller portions of flour may be varied as you wish: 1 cup soy, no whole wheat; all whole wheat; or rye can be put in instead. Standard loaf pan is OK. If you can find a smaller one, you'll get a little better shaped loaf, but the quality of the bread is the same. If you want to wait, I'll bring you an extra loaf pan at Thanksgiving."
