Beer Bread is a delicious 4 ingredient batter bread that has a crunch buttery crust.
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.
