Easy Beer Bread
Easy Beer Bread combines all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and beer to form a quick bread batter baked into a golden loaf with a tender crumb. The beer provides leavening and subtle flavor complexity, eliminating the need for yeast. This straightforward recipe makes a rustic bread suitable for sandwiches or as a bread side.

Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 12 ounce beer bottle
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a 9x5 loaf pan lightly and line with a piece of parchment paper.
- When the oven has come to temperature, measure the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl and whisk well to combine. Break up any lumps in your brown sugar.
- Add the beer to the bowl and whisk or stir to combine. Mix just enough to combine everything and there is no dry flour left. Don't worry about lumps.
- Turn the batter into your loaf pan and spread out the top so the batter is even from end to end.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out without wet batter on it (moist crumbs are fine.)
- Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then remove to a rack to cool.
- I like to slice the bread while it is still warm, but don't slice it until you are ready to eat.
