Classic Beer Bread
Beer Bread is a classic quick bread that's great for casual entertaining. It's lightly-sweet, buttery, and delicious served as an appetizer, snack, or side.
Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 1 pound (8 1/2" x 4 1/2" x 2 3/4" high) loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Pour in beer and stir just to combine. For a tender bread, don't over-mix. Batter will be thick and won't have a totally smooth appearance.
Spoon batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out so it reaches all four corners. Drizzle with the melted butter.
Bake for 35-55 minutes, until the top is golden and a cake tester inserted into the center of the loaf comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. (Baking time will depend on the heat conductivity of the pan you're using, as well as your oven; my loaves most often take 40-45 mintues.)
Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack. Slice the bread when it's just slightly warm or room temperature and serve.
