I almost didn’t get my post in today, but here it finally is! Tonight we had leftovers, yes it does happen once in a while… Hubster ate the left over chicken & biscuits I made last night, and I heated up left over tarragon champagne sauce with chicken and served it over pasta. Of course, I had to bake some yeasty beer bread!
Ingredients 2 c. all-purpose flour, 1 c. whole-wheat flour, 4 tsp. baking powder, 2 tsp. fresh ground sea salt, 3 Tbsp. sugar, 1bottle of beer, 3 Tbsp. melted butter
Directions Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix flour, sugar, salt & baking powder together. Add the beer and stir everything together until well moistened and pour into a greased loaf pan. Gently run knife down center of dough to make a crease. Pour melted butter over batter. Bake for 50-60minutes. Cool and slice.
*I prefer using lager when making this recipe. Serve with butter at dinner, slice for a sandwich at lunch, spread with jam for breakfast, spread with Nutella at brunch, serve it with a white bean hummus as an appetizer.
What is your favorite meal to serve bread?
Beer bread is always a hit – especially with the boys at braais (barbecues).

have you ever tried baking beer bread w/ fruity lager (eg, blueberry or raspberry ale) for a bit of extra flavour? i’ve never had beer bread before, but it sounds yummy!
I have with a raspberry lambic, but it’s so expensive to get here, I’d end up with a $25 loaf of bread! Maybe there’s some other fruit ales here that’s less expensive…
I love that this recipe has so few ingredients! I’ve been wanting to try my hand at making Beer Bread ever since one of Christopher’s coworkers made it for a Cook Off and it was so tasty!
Oh, it’s so easy!
I love this. I’m going to try it!
Let me know how it turns out!
Thanks for the comment earlier today! Your blog looks great and the food looks beautiful.
I made a similar bread to this but mixed into the batter were a bit of caramelized onions and cheddar cheese. Really yummy.
I’ll have to try this version though too…so easy, and looks fantastic.
Thanks, yours sounds delicious!
You had me at beer. 🙂
Haha, thank & welcome!
