Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 (12 ounce) can room temperature beer
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a standard loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
- Pour the entire can of room temperature beer into the dry ingredients.
- Stir the mixture gently with a spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use room temperature beer for the best rise, as the carbonation reacts better with the baking powder.
- For a richer flavor, use a darker beer like a stout or amber ale.
- Slice thick pieces and brush with melted butter immediately after removing from the oven for a buttery bread recipe finish.
