Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 can Beer (any type, 12 ounces)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the beer into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter will be thick and lumpy.

Step 4

Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 5

Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the batter for a crispy, golden crust.

Step 6

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 7

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings.
