Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Poppy seeds
- 12 ounces Beer
- 4 tablespoons 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 easier lifting.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and poppy seeds. Whisk together until well incorporated.
Step 3
Slowly pour the beer into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix just until combined. The batter will be thick and slightly lumpy—this is normal.
Step 4
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with the back of the spatula.
Step 5
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the batter. This will give the bread a golden, crispy crust as it bakes.
Step 6
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 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 wonderfully with soups, chili, or a spread of butter or honey.
