Create a quick, satisfying loaf with a crispy crust and soft interior using only three basic ingredients. This no-knead beer bread requires no yeast and is perfect for weeknight dinners or serving with soup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (12 ounce) can room temperature beer (lager or pale ale works well)
  • 3 cups self-rising flour
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour and sugar.
  3. Slowly pour the room temperature beer into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are acceptable.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  5. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Slice and serve warm for the best texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature beer for the best chemical reaction with the baking powder in the flour, which provides the lift without yeast.
  • For a savory variation, omit the sugar and add 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder to the dry ingredients.
  • If you do not have self-rising flour, substitute 3 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of salt.
