Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 12 ounces beer (any kind, preferably lager or 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, sugar, baking powder, salt, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients and toss to coat it evenly.
Pour the beer into the bowl and stir gently with a wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Pour the melted butter over the top of the batter, spreading it as evenly as possible to ensure a golden, crispy crust.
Bake the bread 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 allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Slice and serve the bread on its own, with butter, or alongside your favorite soups and stews.
