Quick and Easy Soda Pop Bread

(makes two small loaves in 30 minutes)
Ingredients

  • 3 cups flour
  • 12 oz of warm soda (1 can worth, no diet sodas)
  • 1 tablespoon yeast

Instructions

  • Mix the ingredients together.
  • Separate the dough into two halves and place in small bread pans.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Notes

  • Nearly any type of soda works in this recipe as long as it has sugar or high fructose corn syrup in it.
  • Artificial fruit flavors usually turn out well while subtle flavors can be hard to detect in the bread.
  • The Mountain Dew family of sodas and energy drinks also give an interesting alternative form of caffeine intake.
  • Berry, grape, and apple juices can be substituted for soda but you will have to wait for the bread to raise a bit after you put it in the bread pans.

Bread Log

Tried making more breads. Turns out that juice seems to work just fine in the previous recipe I mentioned.

Black raspberry juice was good even though the juice was quite old had fermented a bit.

Used red creme soda and some of the new "undercover" Sierra Mist and they both turned out ok. Can't really taste the flavor of either of them, though the dye in the red creme soda made the dough look like bubble gum.

Have some grape juice to try out next, I have the feeling that it will be very similar to the grape soda bread. There is also a random bottle of beer that I will try at some point.

Now I have to get my rules change/clarification stuff done so there can be at least a little discussion on them.
