Make this easy, savory quick bread using beer and sharp cheddar cheese. It requires no yeast and is perfect as a side dish for comfort meals.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Grease and flour a standard loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until it is evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
  4. Pour the room temperature beer into the dry mixture. Mix gently 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 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.

Notes

  • Use a full-flavored beer, like a pale ale or a darker lager, to get the best flavor in your bread.
  • For a richer crust, you can brush the top with a little extra melted butter halfway through baking.
  • This bread pairs well with chili, soups, or roasted chicken.
