Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 12 ounces Beer (lager or ale)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.
Pour the beer into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the batter to create a rich, golden crust during baking.
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 rest in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade beer bread!
