Make a simple, savory gluten free quick bread using the carbonation from gluten free beer for a tender crumb. This recipe is perfect for a side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose gluten free flour blend (must contain xanthan gum)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 (12 ounce) bottle gluten free beer, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter or dairy free alternative

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 gluten free flour blend, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. Pour the room temperature gluten free beer into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Stir in the melted butter or dairy free alternative until incorporated.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Using a gluten free flour blend that already includes xanthan gum is key for good texture in this quick bread recipe.
  • If you cannot find gluten free beer, you can substitute with 12 ounces of club soda or sparkling water mixed with 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to mimic the reaction.
  • For a richer flavor, brush the top of the loaf with a little extra melted butter immediately after removing it from the oven.
