Old Fashioned Beer Bread

Beer Bread is a classic Old Fashioned Batter Bread that has a crisp-buttery topping and only uses 4 simple ingredients.

Today's recipe is short and sweet!!! The other day I mentioned in my beef stew post that I was serving this delicious Old Fashioned Beer Bread along side. Well I finally got the recipe posted so I hope you enjoy it. Beer Bread is one of my favorite breads to serve with soup or stew. I snapped a few pictures of the bread before it was demolished. The crust turns out so golden brown every time and my family just loves it. 

Start by mixing all the ingredients together. Pour and spread the mixture into a standard loaf pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray (I use the baking spray with added flour) Pour half of the melted butter over the bread and place on the center rack of your oven.  

Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown. Test with a toothpick in the center of the bread and make sure it comes out clean. Make a slight slit down the top of bread and add the remainder of the melted butter over the top of the bread and bake an additional 5 - 10 minutes.  

Yum right out of the oven. Let cool about 5 minutes in the loaf pan then remove, cool completely and slice.

Yield: 6-8

Notes:

This bread is wonderful the next day, spread on some butter and sprinkle cinnamon sugar and top and toast in your toaster oven yum! If you don't have self rising flour you can make your own: To make 2 cups of self-rising flour, you would mix together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
