Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 bottle or can beer (any variety, 12 oz bottle or can)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
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, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula. Mix just until combined. The batter will be thick and lumpy; do not overmix.
Pour half of the melted butter into the prepared loaf pan and tilt the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
Transfer the batter to the loaf pan, spreading it out in an even layer with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Pour the remaining melted butter evenly over the top of the batter.
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 5 minutes. Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely, or serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
Slice, serve, and enjoy with butter, honey, or your favorite spread!
