Why We Love Beer Bread

Ingredients & Variations
Flour: This easy beer bread recipe uses self-rising flour to make it quick. If you don’t have self-rising flour, I’ve included directions for all-purpose flour in the notes! Beer: Beer helps this bread rise, and it also adds flavor. Dark beer, like stouts, have a deep flavor, while light beer makes for lighter-tasting bread. Both are great; just use what you have on hand! Flavorings: This beer bread is a terrific recipe to experiment with since it’s practically foolproof.
Try adding in some shredded cheese, or add extra honey to make a sweetbread! Chopped jalapenos or chilies will spice things up! Dried herbs like thyme or rosemary with some chopped sun-dried tomato, a clove of minced garlic, and parmesan make an Italian-style bread!

Storing Beer Bread
