Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 12 ounces Beer (any variety, room temperature)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

Step 3

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, parsley, and dried thyme, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the flour mixture.

Step 4

Slowly pour the beer into the dry ingredients while gently stirring. Mix until just combined—do not overmix. The batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 6

Pour the melted butter evenly over the surface of the batter to create a crispy, flavorful crust.

Step 7

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.

Step 9

Slice and enjoy your Cheddar Herb Beer Bread on its own, or pair it with soups, stews, or a smear of butter!
