Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 can Beer (any type, 12 ounces)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Pour the beer into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter will be thick and lumpy.
Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the batter for a crispy, golden crust.
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 5-10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings.
