Make this incredibly easy, no-yeast beer bread with just three pantry staples. You mix the ingredients and bake immediately for a quick side dish with a crisp crust and soft center.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups self-rising flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 (12 ounce) can of beer, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and sugar. Mix these dry ingredients together well.
  3. Pour the entire can of beer into the dry mixture. Stir just until the ingredients are combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
  5. If you are using butter, drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the batter.
  6. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use any type of beer you have on hand; lagers or pale ales work well. The carbonation helps the bread rise since there is no yeast.
  • For a savory beer bread, skip the sugar and add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients.
  • This quick bread recipe is perfect served alongside soups or stews.
