5-Ingredient Beer Bread Is the Perfect Intro to Bread Baking (No Yeast Needed!)

With its crunchy golden crust and tender, springy crumb, beer bread is exactly what hearty soups, stews, and chilis need this winter.

Ingredients

6 tablespoons (90g) unsalted butter, plus more for the pan

12 ounces (354 ml) room temperature beer, such as lager or ale

1/4 cup (84 g) honey

3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon kosher salt

Equipment

9x5-inch loaf pan

Measuring cups and spoons

Mixing bowl

Whisk

Spatula

Wire cooling rack

Serrated knife

Instructions

Heat the oven and prepare a loaf pan. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F (176C). Lightly coat a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter, then line with a parchment paper sling that hangs off the 2 longer sides.

Melt the butter. Cut 6 tablespoons unsalted butter into 6 pieces. Place in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 10-second bursts until completely melted, 50 to 60 seconds total. (Alternatively, melt the butter on the stovetop and transfer to a large bowl.)

Combine the wet ingredients. Add 12 ounces beer and 1/4 cup honey and whisk to combine.

Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and stir with a spatula just until no dry spots remain. Do not overmix, a few lumps are fine.

Transfer batter to the prepared pan. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

Bake the bread. Bake until browned and the center of the loaf springs back when gently pressed, 45 to 55 minutes.

Cool the bread. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove the bread from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.

episode 150: beer bread 🍻🍞💖 (nat 20)

Found that I did take some photos of the beer bread I made yesterday! Here they are. Same dough; the loaf was put into a hot dutch oven and baked covered for 30 minutes then uncovered for 5, while the rolls were shaped, placed in a cast iron skillet, then baked covered for 20 minutes, uncovered for 10.

I added an egg to the recipe this time, which I don't think did much in terms of affecting texture or rise, but did get rid of an egg. (I get a dozen eggs every two weeks from the farmshare, I am drowning in eggs.)

[ID: Two photos of bread; on the left, a rustic loaf sits on a cooling rack, brown and gold where it was slashed prior to baking. On the right, ten small bread rolls crowd into a cast-iron skillet, brown except for where they all touch each other and are a much lighter yellow shade.]
