Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 12 ounces Beer (lager or ale)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Pour the beer into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick and lumpy.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with the back of the spoon or spatula.
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan. Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the batter, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 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 5-10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Slice and enjoy the buttery, crusty goodness! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
