Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 12 fluid ounces beer (room temperature, preferably lager or ale)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 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
Slowly pour the beer into the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be lumpy, and that's okay.
Step 4
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula.
Step 5
Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the batter to create a flavorful, golden crust.
Step 6
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes. Then, remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Step 8
Serve warm or at room temperature with butter, honey, or alongside your favorite dish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
