Buttery Beer Bread
Description
The recipe involves mixing flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, white sugar, and beer to form a dough. The beer acts both as the liquid component and as a source of leavening, producing a bread with a tender crumb and slight maltiness from the beer flavor. After placing the dough in a greased loaf pan, melted unsalted butter is poured on top, which adds moisture and contributes to a crisp, flavorful crust during a 50-55 minute bake at 375°F.
The texture is soft inside with a golden crust. The sugars in the dough balance the slight bitterness of the beer, creating a subtly sweet contrast. This bread is versatile as an accompaniment for meals or on its own with spreads.
The alcohol in the beer evaporates during baking, leaving behind only its flavor and carbonation effect. It is important to check doneness by ensuring a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The bread pairs well with soups, salads, or can be served plain.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 (12-ounce) beer
- ½ cup butter unsalted, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, sift together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Add ¼ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup white sugar, and 1 (12-ounce) can beer. Mix together until it forms a dough.
- Evenly spread the dough into the prepared pan. Pour ½ cup unsalted melted butter on top of the dough.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes or until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Notes
- The alcohol content from the beer fully evaporates during the baking process.
- Use a 12-ounce beer of your choice; lighter or maltier beers will affect the flavor.
- Ensure the loaf pan is well greased to prevent sticking and aid even browning.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean when fully baked.
