Bake a soft, fluffy loaf of homemade beer bread quickly. This simple recipe uses minimal ingredients and requires no yeast or rising time, making it perfect for beginners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (12 ounce) bottle of beer, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until they are well combined. This step helps distribute the leavening agent evenly.
  3. Pour the entire bottle of beer into the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture gently with a spoon just until the ingredients are combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
  5. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the batter.
  6. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use a room temperature beer for the best rise; cold beer can inhibit the chemical reaction with the baking powder.
  • For a savory twist, add 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder to the dry ingredients.
  • This bread pairs wonderfully with hearty soups or chili as a quick side dish.
