Make this simple, no-yeast beer bread using only three main ingredients for a fast, fluffy loaf with a buttery crust, perfect as a side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 (12 ounce) can of beer, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and sugar. Mix them briefly.
  3. Pour the entire can of room temperature beer into the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture just until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  5. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. While the bread is still hot, brush the top evenly with the melted butter.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use a light-colored, non-hoppy beer for the best neutral flavor in the bread.
  • If you do not have self-rising flour, substitute 3 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of salt.
  • This bread is excellent served warm alongside chili or stew.
