Warm, cheesy, and packed with savory flavor, Cheddar Scallion Beer Bread is the ultimate quick bread for any occasion. This no-yeast bread pairs the richness of sharp cheddar cheese with the fresh bite of scallions, all elevated by the malty depth of your favorite lager or ale. Topped with a luscious layer of melted butter that bakes into a golden crust, each slice delivers a moist, fluffy texture and a hint of garlic for extra savoriness. Ready in just an hour with minimal prep, this recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or as a hearty side for soups, stews, or chili. Whether served warm with a pat of butter or toasted the next day, this homemade bread is as easy to make as it is irresistible.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until well combined.
Fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and thinly sliced scallions, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
Pour in the beer and stir gently with a spatula until a thick, sticky dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Spoon the dough into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly using the spatula.
Pour the melted unsalted butter evenly over the top of the dough for a rich, golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 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 let it cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Slice and enjoy your Cheddar Scallion Beer Bread on its own or with a spread of butter!
