Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 12 fluid ounces Beer (any type)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted 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 removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Slowly pour the beer into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until all the flour is incorporated. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be thick.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the batter to create a golden, crispy crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the bread 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. This bread pairs wonderfully with soups, stews, or simply a spread of butter.
