Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 (12 ounce) bottle of beer, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. Pour the room temperature beer into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Pour half of the melted butter over the batter and gently fold it in.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drizzle the remaining melted butter evenly over the top of the batter.
  6. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use room temperature beer for the best rise, as cold beer can slow down the reaction with the baking powder.
  • For a savory Garlic Cheddar Beer Bread variation, mix 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 1 teaspoon garlic powder into the batter before baking.
  • This bread pairs well as a side for chili, stew, or your favorite game day snacks.
