Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 12 ounces beer (lager or ale preferred)
• 0.5 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 0.5 cup kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
• 0.25 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 2 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 removal.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.

Step 3

Gently fold in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, chopped kalamata olives, and shredded Parmesan cheese, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.

Step 4

Pour the beer into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter will be thick and slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the batter to create a golden crust during baking.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. This bread pairs wonderfully with soups, stews, or as a snack on its own.
