Make this simple, quick bread with only three pantry ingredients. It requires no yeast or kneading, resulting in a moist loaf with a crisp, buttery crust, perfect for serving with chili or stew.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 (12 ounce) can of beer (lager or pale ale works well)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for topping)

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, combine the self-rising flour and sugar. Mix them together briefly.
  3. Pour the entire can of beer into the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture just until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  5. Brush the top of the batter evenly with the melted butter.
  6. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a savory Garlic Cheddar Beer Bread, omit the sugar and replace it with 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder mixed into the flour.
  • Use any type of beer you prefer; the flavor will transfer slightly to the final bread. Darker beers result in a deeper flavor.
  • This bread is best eaten within two days for optimal texture.
