Father's Day Beer Bread
Ingredients
- 3 cups 360 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon 12 g baking powder
- 1 teaspoon 6 g salt
- ¼ cup 50 g granulated sugar
- 12 fluid ounces 355 ml beer
- ¼ cup 57 g unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 8 ½ X 4 ½-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until combined.
- Slowly pour in the beer, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. The batter will be thick and slightly sticky.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons (28.5 g) of the melted butter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons (28.5 g) melted butter over the top.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Slice and serve warm with butter or Father’s Day dishes.
Notes
- Beer Choice: Use Dad’s favorite beer (lager, ale, or stout) for a personal touch; avoid overly hoppy IPAs to prevent bitterness.
- Precise Measurements: For accurate flour measurement, use a kitchen scale or spoon and level the flour to avoid a dense loaf.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Optional Add-Ins: Mix in ½ cup shredded cheddar or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs for extra flavor.
