Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (self-rising flour can be used for added convenience)
- 1 12oz bottle/can of beer (any flavor, warm or at room temperature)
- Butter for greasing the bread pan
Optional Add-ins:
- Grated cheese (cheddar or parmesan for extra flavor)
- Garlic powder or minced garlic
- Herbs (rosemary, thyme, or your favorite mix)
- 1/4 cup sugar for a slightly sweeter bread
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
- Prepare the Pan:
- Generously butter a standard-sized bread pan.
- Mix the Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and the entire 12oz bottle/can of beer. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Customize Your Bread (Optional):
- If you want to enhance the flavor, add in any optional ingredients such as grated cheese, garlic, herbs, or sugar. Fold them into the batter.
- Pour into the Pan:
- Pour the batter into the prepared bread pan.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool:
- Allow the beer bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Remove and Serve:
- Carefully remove the bread from the pan. The bread should easily slide out.
- Slice and Enjoy:
- Slice the beer bread and enjoy it warm with butter, jam, or your favorite spread.
Tips:
- Use self-rising flour for a slightly lighter texture.
- Experiment with different beer flavors; lighter beers result in a milder taste, while darker beers impart a more robust flavor.
- Try different optional ingredients to customize the bread to your liking.
- If you don’t have beer, you can substitute it with soda (12oz).
Note:
- The beer flavor will cook out during baking, leaving behind a delicious, non-beer-tasting bread.
