Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 bottle or can beer (any variety, 12 oz bottle or can)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Slowly pour the beer into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula. Mix just until combined. The batter will be thick and lumpy; do not overmix.
Step 4
Pour half of the melted butter into the prepared loaf pan and tilt the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
Step 5
Transfer the batter to the loaf pan, spreading it out in an even layer with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Step 6
Pour the remaining melted butter evenly over the top of the batter.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely, or serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
Step 9
Slice, serve, and enjoy with butter, honey, or your favorite spread!
