Does anyone have a go-to recipe?

The one recipe I make, more than any other, is bread. It's fast, simple, and aside from being a nearly every-morning staple, it forms the basis for many if our lunches. I make this once a week, throughout the year, and I doubt we make any other single, non-trivial recipe more frequently.

Unless "martini" is a recipe.

It's one of the easiest bread recipes I've seen, and frankly just as good as and fussy recipe thay requires more steps. This one is just "put everything in a bowl and mix it."

Now, some breads do need more work that you really can't simplify and still get the same result, like baguette. But I think people see bread recipes and think they're a lot of work, get turned off, and never make their own bread. It's a shame, because it doesn't have to be hard, and it's way cheaper - and IMO tastier - when it's home made.

Kind of like beer bread, easy.

beer bread though for that version I would on step 3 just dump it and spread it personally.

Oh, yum! Ok, I'm making that this weekend!

Does the type of beer make a difference? There isn't much of it; have you tried it with, eg, a stout, vs a lager?

Yes it does, and yes I have. I'd say experiment with it and different dishes to see what pairs with what.
