Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Honey or brown sugar
- 12 ounces Beer (preferably wheat beer or any mild-flavored beer)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Add the honey or brown sugar to the dry ingredients and mix lightly to distribute it evenly.
Step 4
Pour the beer into the mixture and stir gently until the flour is fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Step 5
Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 6
Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the dough to create a golden and flavorful crust.
Step 7
Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
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 9
Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature. This bread pairs beautifully with soups, stews, or a simple spread of butter.
