Create a moist, flavorful loaf with a buttery crust quickly. This simple beer bread recipe requires no yeast and is perfect for serving alongside soups or chili.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 (12-ounce) bottle of beer, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and garlic powder until evenly distributed.
  4. Pour the entire bottle of beer into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Drizzle the 4 tablespoons of melted butter evenly over the top of the batter.
  7. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Slice and serve warm for the best buttery crust and soft center.

Notes

  • Use a room temperature beer for best mixing results. Darker beers add more flavor complexity.
  • For an extra buttery crust, brush a little extra melted butter over the top of the loaf halfway through baking.
  • This bread pairs well with chili, stew, or as a savory weeknight side dish.
