Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 12 fluid ounces Beer (lager or pale ale preferred)
- 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 for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, dried rosemary, dried thyme, and dried parsley.
Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the dry mixture, stirring to evenly distribute it throughout the flour mixture.
Slowly pour in the beer while stirring gently with a spoon or spatula. Stir just until all the dry ingredients are moistened, being careful not to overmix.
Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Pour the melted butter over the top of the dough, ensuring it covers the surface for a crisp, 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 allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy as-is, or serve warm with butter, soup, or your favorite dipping sauce!
