Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Raisins
- 12 ounces Beer (lager or ale preferred)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Use a whisk to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly combined.
Stir in the raisins, making sure they are well distributed throughout the flour mixture.
Slowly pour the beer into the dry mixture while stirring. Mix just until combined — the batter will be sticky and lumpy, but be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the batter, creating a rich, golden crust as the bread bakes.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. This bread pairs beautifully with butter, cream cheese, or as a side to hearty meals.
