This easy beer bread recipe calls for just 5 ingredients and comes together in 5 short minutes. This beer bread is so delicious you’ll make it all the time!
I never met a carbohydrate I didn’t love, and oh friends, let me just tell you that the day I discovered I could combine two of my very favorite carbs–beer and bread–in to one delicious (and super easy) recipe was a very happy day indeed.
I’m pretty sure the heavens opened up with a bright shining light from above.
Angels may have sung.
Or maybe that was just in my mind.
In any case, this oh-so-yummy bread recipe is very near perfection in my book–just a couple of ingredients and five minutes to whip together. It is the perfect side to any hearty soup or stew. The self-rising flour makes it just a little faster, but if you don’t keep self-rising flour on hand, just add a little salt and baking powder to the mix and you will be just fine.
Step 1: Mix flour and sugar together in large bowl.
Step 2: Add beer and egg to flour mixture and mix well.
Step 3: Scrape batter into greased loaf pan; bake at 350 for 50 minutes.
Step 4: Remove bread from oven; melt butter. Brush melted butter onto bread and return to oven to bake 5-10 additional minutes.
Step 5: Cool on wire rack; serve with a hearty soup or (or stay tuned for next week’s one pot beef stew!)
Preparation time: 5 minute(s). Cooking time: 1 hour(s). Number of servings (yield): 8.

This looks and sounds so delicious! Am I understanding this correctly? This bread requires no kneading or rising time.
Correct.
We've made this many times and love it!!! I would like to make mini loaves of it to give a gifts. Could you make this recipe using mini loaf pans? What would the temp of oven and bake time be?
I would try an oven temp of 375 and about 25-35 minutes. :)
Fantastic recipe, Ruth. Just made it this morning. Super quick and easy, and slices up just like sandwich bread. Thank you!
Just made my first loaf. So good! Easy recipe
With this recipe you never have to buy store bought bread!!

Great title for your website "Living Well and Spending Less". What a better world this would be. You said a whole mouth full of truth. love your site. I never had beer bread before. It looks Awesome!!!! I am going to made it. I want to be a better baker. I am a true Bread Lover
I made this bread last night to go with a New England boiled dinner. The boil was so so, but this bread was heaven and so easy to make!! I've made a lot of soda breads and yeast breads, and never one I truly loved. Until this. Get out of the way, cabbage, there's bread to be had!! Definitely going in the regular rotation. Thank you!!
Looks tasty! I noticed in the photo you used a Yuengling lager. Have you tried it with other kinds of beer (IPA, Stout. etc.?) Also, lucky you for being able to get Yuengling! My husband and his brother love it (they grew up in PA) but now living in the midwest we can't get it :) We always have his family bring some when they come to visit!
