Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 12 ounces Beer (any variety, room temperature)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, parsley, and dried thyme, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the flour mixture.
Slowly pour the beer into the dry ingredients while gently stirring. Mix until just combined—do not overmix. The batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.
Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Pour the melted butter evenly over the surface of the batter to create a crispy, flavorful crust.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Slice and enjoy your Cheddar Herb Beer Bread on its own, or pair it with soups, stews, or a smear of butter!
