    Beer Bread with Self Rising Flour

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Beer bread can be made any time of the year but if you're looking for a quick and simple bread to throw together during the Holiday Season with no yeast this is it.

    Have you ever heard of the company Tastefully Simple? Tastefully Simple is a company based out of Alexandria MN that sells premade baking mixes and one of my favorite baking mixes of theirs was for beer bread. They also have spices, sauces, and dip mixes, etc…  I’m not sponsored by this company at all, I just had remembered making their bread for a party I had hosted and wanted to find a similar recipe that didn’t require a baking mix in order to make it.

    Beer bread was probably by far one of my favorite mixes of theirs and beer bread is something really simple you can make on your own and it only requires 5 ingredients. Those 5 ingredients are self-rising flour, sugar, salt, butter, and a 12 oz bottle of beer. Any kind of beer will do. I know I’ll get people asking me if you use gluten-free flour or almond flour instead of flour.

    Why You Will Love This Recipe

    I have tested this recipe quite a few times and this one was my favorite.

    My previous recipe for beer bread was not working before which was just a can of beer and self rising flour. The top would not turn brown at all cause it was missing an egg wash or butter on the top of it.

    This recipe is so much better than one.

    Ingredients Needed for Beer Bread

    Ingredients needed for beer bread.

    Self Rising Flour - Self-rising flour is a type of flour that already contains baking powder and salt, which are essential ingredients in many baked goods.

    Light Beer - When it comes to baking with beer, the best option is to choose a beer that complements the flavors of the other ingredients in the recipe. Popular beer choices include stouts, porters, and bocks. However, lighter beers such as pilsners and wheat beers can also be used in recipes that call for a more subtle beer flavor.

    Granulated sugar - I do not use sugar substitutes in any of my recipes but if you know the conversions feel free to do so

    Salt - Bread without salt is very bland and tasteless.

    Unsalted Butter - The butter gets melted and poured on the bottom of the bread loaf pan and on top of the bread.

    See recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    How to make Beer Bread 

    Step 1: Heat oven to 375°F You’ll need a 9 x 5 x 3-in. loaf pan, lightly greased.

    Step 2: Put the flour, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Add beer and stir with a rubber spatula just until flour is moistened completely.

    Step 3: Melt the stick of butter in the microwave-safe bowl. Then pour half of the butter into the bread loaf pan. Then add the dough and top it off with the remaining melted butter.

    Step 4: Bake 50 to 55 minutes until top is lightly browned, the sides pull away from the pan and pick inserted near the center comes out clean.

    Step 5: Cool in pan on a wire rack 5 minutes, then turn out on rack to cool. Cut in ½-in. slices to serve. Makes great toast.

    Bet you can't eat just one slice of this!

    What to serve with beer bread?

    Toast up the bread and make some Anna's Orange Marmalade or Sugar-Free Strawberry Sauce to spread over the jam.

    Some Hot Honey Recipe would be delicious drizzled over some toasted beer bread.

    Make sandwiches like this Grinder Salad Sandwich and fill it with vegetables, meats, or spreads.

    Beer Bread goes really well with some chili and soups and makes for the ultimate Fall comfort food. Really, this combination is super good together. Check out my recipe for Crock Pot Turkey Chili. 

    Beer bread can be served alongside a salad or as an accompaniment to a main dish.

      It's a type of melting chocolate. Usually found next to the chocolate chips.

      I rated 5* bc this bread has the yeasty flavor we enjoy here. It’s really just this simple and fast. We serve it with the WW 0-point chili and nothing is as perfect as the mingling of these flavors.
