Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 12 ounces Beer (any variety, but a lager or ale works best)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Pour the beer into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter will be lumpy, and that’s okay.
Step 4
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 5
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the batter. This will create a crispy, golden crust on the bread.
Step 6
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy it plain, with butter, or alongside your favorite soups and stews!
