Beer Bread is a delicious four ingredient batter bread that has a
I found this recipe in the cookbook pictured below. I laughed out loud when I saw what the picture says, it’s so true though! This beer bread does not taste like beer to me at all. It reminded me of the yeasty buttermilk bread my mom made when I was growing up. If you used a stout or a dark beer, you’d probably get more of beer taste in the bread. I used a light beer in this.
This bread is really addicting and the easiest homemade bread I’ve ever made. The crust is super crunchy, and so good. My husband and I fought over the end pieces!
I have plans to make this on Easter instead of dinner rolls, that’s how good it is! I hope you give this easy recipe a try.
Beer Bread
Ingredients:
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
- 12 oz. beer (I use bud light)
- 1/2 cup salted butter (divided)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a standard sized loaf pan with non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl add the self-rising flour, sugar and beer. Stir until combined. Pour into the loaf pan. Melt half of the butter in the microwave or stove top and pour over batter evenly.
- Place the loaf pan on the center of the rack and bake for 1 hour or until golden brown and the center comes out clean when a toothpick is inserted in the center of the loaf.
- Melt the remaining butter and pour over the while hot and still in the pan. Remove from pan and let cool for 20 minutes before cutting and serving.

Kryste says
During a snow day my husband and I challenged each other to a beer bread baking contest and I picked your recipe as mine for the contest…….All I can say is I win!!! Best bread for honey or Jelly or just plain. I used Blue moon beer in mine and it gave it great flavor
Sarah Olson says
Wonderful to hear Kryste! We love this recipe so much too!
Lisa says
What kind of beer works best?
Sarah Olson says
I use a mild light beer so it isn’t too strong.
Jill says
OMG! Just made this bread and it is sooo easy and sooo good! And even smelled good while cooking! Definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing.
Becky says
Can I use all purpose flour?
Sarah Olson says
Hi! You would need to find a recipe for how to make all-purpose flour into self-rising. It has a rising agent in it.
