Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 12 fluid ounces beer (room temperature, preferably lager or ale)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch 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, and salt until well combined.
Slowly pour the beer into the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be lumpy, and that's okay.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula.
Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the batter to create a flavorful, golden crust.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes. Then, remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature with butter, honey, or alongside your favorite dish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
