Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Beer (any type, 12 oz can or bottle)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until caramelized and golden brown. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and dried thyme (if using).
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the beer. Add the caramelized onions. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter will be thick.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Melt the unsalted butter and pour it over the top of the batter. Use a pastry brush to spread it evenly if necessary.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake 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 let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Slice and enjoy your savory Onion Beer Bread on its own or with butter, soup, or a hearty stew.
