Homemade beer bread has been a popular recipe dish lately, and with good reason–it’s an easy recipe to make and you know what ingredients you’re putting in, so there’s nothing strange.
The bread has a soft center and a butter-flavored top crust that’s crunchy. It’s almost like a muffin top, where you’re tempted to slice off the entire top and eat it all in one sitting.

How To Make Beer Bread
Firstly, add the all-purpose flour to a large bowl.
Secondly, add the sugar, baking powder, and salt to the flour and whisk it together.
Thirdly, pour the beer into the bowl.
For this recipe, you can really use any type of beer that you like. I used a light beer for this recipe, and it’s fun to try different types because you can get so many different flavors in your bread.
Stout beer, pale ales, or any type of beer that you like can be added to the mix.
Fourthly, mix everything together.
See what I mean–easy peasy. You’re almost done.
Finally, spread it into a greased bread loaf pan and pour the melted butter over the top.
It feels sinful to be pouring so much butter over the top, but you’ll thank me when you eat a warm slice.
Bake the bread for 45-55 minutes and it will end up with a crusty, flavor-packed top and a moist center.
