Ingredients
| 400 g | All-purpose flour |
| 2 Tablespoon | Sugar |
| 1 Tablespoon | Baking powder |
| 1 Teaspoon | Salt |
| 12 Ounce | Beer |
| 2 Tablespoon | Honey |
| 6 Tablespoon | Butter, melted |
STEPS
- Start the Traeger grill on set the temperature to 350F (180 C) and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Spray a loaf pan (9x5x3 inches) (55x12x20 cm) with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- Put the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk with a wire whisk to combine and aerate. Add the beer and honey and stir with a wooden spoon until the batter is just mixed. (Do not overmix.) If desired, gently stir in one or more of the optional add-ins.
- Pour half of the melted butter in the prepared loaf pan and spoon in the batter. Pour the remainder of the butter over the top of the loaf.
- Put the loaf pan directly on the grill grate and bake until a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes, and the bread is golden-brown. (Note: If using a glass loaf pan, the baking time might be shorter.)
