Sink your teeth into the rich, rustic charm of Rock Bottom Brewery Beer Bread, a simple yet flavorful recipe that transforms humble ingredients into a golden loaf of homemade perfection. With just six pantry staples—flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, beer, and melted butter—this no-yeast bread comes together effortlessly in under an hour. The beer lends a subtle depth of flavor and a beautifully tender crumb, while the buttery crust delivers irresistible crunch in every bite. Perfect as a savory standalone snack or a hearty side dish, this beer bread pairs wonderfully with soups, stews, or a generous spread of honey butter. Quick, comforting, and delightfully easy to make, it’s a crowd-pleaser that’s sure to become a go-to recipe in your kitchen.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Slowly pour in the beer, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until the batter is just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick but slightly lumpy.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly.
Slowly pour the melted butter over the top of the batter, ensuring it covers the surface evenly.
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 about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
Slice and enjoy your delicious homemade beer bread with a pat of butter or alongside your favorite dishes!
