Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 12 ounces Beer (any type, preferably room temperature)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.
Step 3
Pour the beer into the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. The batter will be thick and lumpy—this is normal.
Step 4
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 5
Slowly drizzle the melted butter over the top of the batter, allowing it to soak in and create a crispy, golden crust during baking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread 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 before slicing.
Step 8
Serve warm or at room temperature. This bread pairs beautifully with butter, jam, or your favorite soup or stew.
