Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Sugar
- 12 ounces Alaskan beer (e.g., amber or pale ale)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Gradually pour the Alaskan beer into the dry ingredients while stirring gently with a wooden spoon. Mix just until the ingredients come together into a sticky dough; do not overmix.
Pour the dough into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the dough. This will create a flavorful, crispy crust as the bread bakes.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the bread warm or at room temperature. It pairs beautifully with hearty soups, stews, or a smear of butter.
