Soda pop bread -- is this for real?

Hi. I found a couple bread recipes that seemed too easy. Do you think these would work:

I was wondering if the first idea worked (since I have flour and yeast), perhaps I could make bread using apple or peach flavored malt beverage (non-alcoholic).

I don't know if it would work.

You can do a test baking and report your results to DC!

I have made the beer bread - My son really likes it. Its more of a heavier than lighter bread texture. Now I want to try the other one !

Can also Google - Beer bread recipe ! My recipe calls for a little sugar

It works, well, sorta.
I did it day before yesterday, using the 1 T instant yeast with 3 C flour, but I also added 1 t salt as I don't care for unsalted bread, used a can of warmed Blueberry soda pop made from can sugar, can't remember that brand.
Did it as an experiment as I wasn't sure why it 'would' work.
Olive oiled my hands and did do about 15 kneads on the marble counter.
Set it in a large pyrexware oiled bowl, put cling on top and let it rise for 2 1/2 hours.
400° oven for 30 minutes, very good indeed splattered with lots of butter.
