Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
- 12 ounces Beer (room temperature)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Gently fold in the shredded Swiss cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
Pour the beer into the bowl and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Drizzle the melted unsalted butter over the top of the batter, ensuring that it coats the surface evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it 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. Swiss Beer Bread pairs wonderfully with soups, stews, or as a stand-alone treat.
