Create a simple, rustic loaf of bread without yeast or gluten. This quick bread uses beer for flavor and texture, resulting in a moist, satisfying side dish perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour Blend (with xanthan gum)
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 (12 ounce) bottle Gluten-Free Beer, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup 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 gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, salt, and sugar until fully combined.
  3. Pour the room temperature gluten-free beer into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Pour the melted butter over the batter and stir briefly until incorporated.
  5. Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For the best rise, make sure your beer is at room temperature before mixing.
  • If your gluten-free flour blend does not contain xanthan gum, add 1 teaspoon to the dry ingredients.
  • This bread pairs well with chili, soups, or simply served warm with butter.
  • If you need a non-alcoholic version, substitute the beer with 1 cup of plain seltzer water mixed with 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.
