Skip the beer but keep the flavor with this irresistible No Beer Beer Bread! This quick and easy recipe swaps traditional beer for bubbly club soda, creating a light and airy loaf that's ready in under an hour. Featuring simple pantry staples like all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a touch of sugar, this bread delivers a perfectly tender crumb with a rich, buttery crust thanks to a generous drizzle of melted butter. Whether you're pairing it with soups, spreads, or enjoying it on its own, this beginner-friendly, one-bowl wonder is the ultimate hassle-free homemade bread. Perfect for weeknight baking or last-minute gatherings!
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, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Slowly pour in the club soda, stirring gently as you go. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the batter. The mixture will be thick and slightly lumpy.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the batter. This adds a delicious crust and rich flavor to the bread.
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.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
