You can bake this incredibly simple, fluffy beer bread with a crisp crust using just three pantry staples. It requires no yeast and no kneading, making it a fast, foolproof side dish perfect for beginners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (12 ounce) bottle of beer, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for topping)

Instructions

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

Notes

  • Use a light or medium-bodied beer for the best results in this classic beer bread recipe. Darker beers can sometimes result in a denser loaf.
  • For a cheesy beer bread variation, fold 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese into the batter before pouring it into the pan.
  • This quick bread recipe pairs wonderfully with chili, stews, or simply served warm with more butter.
