This classic beer bread is a foolproof recipe that delivers a crispy crust with a soft, tender interior. Made with simple pantry staples and no yeast, it comes together quickly and pairs wonderfully with soups, chili, or just a generous spread of butter.
Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
Pour the room temperature beer into the dry mixture and stir gently just until combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Evenly pour the melted butter over the top of the batter to create a rich crust as it bakes.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove it from the pan and brush with additional melted butter if desired for extra flavor and shine.
