Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 12 ounces Beer (room temperature, preferably a lager or pale ale)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Dried herbs (such as parsley or thyme, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder (if using).
Stir the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and dried herbs (if using) into the dry ingredients, ensuring the cheese is evenly distributed.
Slowly pour the beer into the dry mixture. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently stir the batter until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the batter to create a golden and crispy crust as it bakes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely or enjoy warm.
Slice and serve as is, or pair it with soups, stews, or a smear of butter for an extra indulgent treat!
