Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Poppy seeds
- 12 ounces Beer
- 4 tablespoons Butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier lifting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and poppy seeds. Whisk together until well incorporated.
Slowly pour the beer into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix just until combined. The batter will be thick and slightly lumpy—this is normal.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with the back of the spatula.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the batter. This will give the bread a golden, crispy crust as it bakes.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 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 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. This bread pairs wonderfully with soups, chili, or a spread of butter or honey.
