Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- one ounce beer bottle
- 2 tablespoons butter melted, salted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a standard 9x5 inch loaf pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Make a well in the center of the ingredients, then pour the beer in.
- Mix until the dough just comes together, it should still be a little lumpy.
- Turn out into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
- Brush the top with the melted butter.
- Place the loaf pan on a baking sheet, then place into the oven.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, until golden brown on top and a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a baking rack to cool.
- Slice and serve right away, this doesn't keep well and should be eaten the same day it's made for the best taste and texture.

Notes
- This really only works with alcoholized beer that has yeast in it!
