Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Dried dill weed
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 12 ounces Beer (to be added when baking)
• 2 tablespoons Melted butter (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, dried dill weed, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Layer the dry ingredients into a clean 1-quart canning jar in the order listed, using a spoon to level each layer before adding the next. This will create a beautiful layered effect.

Step 3

Seal the jar tightly with a lid. Optionally, decorate the jar with ribbon or fabric and attach a recipe card with instructions for baking.

Step 4

To bake the Dill Beer Bread: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the contents of the jar with one 12-ounce can or bottle of beer. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour the batter into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Optional: Drizzle 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the batter for a golden, buttery crust.

Step 8

Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and enjoy! The Dill Beer Bread pairs wonderfully with soups, stews, or as a savory snack on its own.
