You can bake this simple, no-yeast beer bread quickly. It results in a loaf with a wonderfully crisp, golden crust and a soft, tender interior, perfect as a fast dinner side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 (12 ounce) can of room temperature beer (lager or pale ale works well)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and sugar until they are fully combined. This is the dry mix.
  3. Slowly pour the room temperature beer into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
  5. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve warm for the best buttery crust.

Notes

  • Using room temperature beer helps the baking powder activate better, giving you a better rise without yeast.
  • For a savory variation, replace the sugar with 1 tablespoon of salt and add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients.
  • This bread is fantastic served warm with soup or chili.
