Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 12 ounces Beer (lager or ale)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Pour the beer into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the batter to create a rich, golden crust during baking.

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 rest in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack.

Step 8

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade beer bread!
