Easy Homemade Beer Bread
Description
This Easy Homemade Beer Bread uses a straightforward mix of sifted flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and a can of beer. The beer acts as a leavening agent and flavor contributor, making yeast unnecessary. After mixing, the batter is placed in a greased loaf pan and brushed with melted butter before baking.
Baking at 350°F for nearly an hour yields a loaf with a golden crust and soft interior. The bread’s flavor has faint malty notes from the beer, balanced by subtle sweetness from sugar.
This bread pairs well with soups, stews, or as a base for sandwiches. It requires no prior rising time and is a convenient quick-bread option when yeast is unavailable or time is tight.
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour (sifted)**
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 can beer (12 ounces / 33 cl )(of choice / room temperature but not flat)
- 1/2 cup butter (melted / divided)
**I sifted the flour two times, the second time I sifted the flour, baking powder and salt together.
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C), grease and flour an 9x5 inch loaf pan (23 x 12 centimeters)
- In a medium bowl add sifted flour mixture and sugar, beer and 1/4 cup of the melted butter. Mix together with a wooden spoon just until combined. (I did 18 stirs with a wood spoon).
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf pan top with the remaining 1/4 cup of melted butter and bake for approximately 55 - 60 minutes, check for doneness with a toothpick.
- Let sit in loaf pan for 5 minutes before removing, then let sit 10 minutes before cutting. Enjoy!
