Honey Beer Bread

This is one of my favorite beer bread recipes. It’s so easy to make I love the flavor which is subtly sweet.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp honey or agave nectar, warmed (see note)
  • 1 bottle, 12 ounces beer
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 7 x 3-inch loaf pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Using a wooden spoon, stir the beer and honey into the dry ingredients until just mixed. Don't over mix!
  • Spoon the batter into the pan, and pour the melted butter on top of the batter.
  • Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until top is golden brown and a toothpick/knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Depending on your oven you may need more or less time. My bread actually needed around 65 minutes because parts of it were done but certain parts were still doughy. I recommend checking it at 50 minutes and leave it in the oven if it needs more time.

Notes

  • The original recipe calls for double the amount of butter, but I think half the amount is better so I’ve updated the recipe. So, instead of pouring butter into the bottom of the pan I just pour the two tablespoons over the top of the batter. That way you don’t have a pool of oily butter in the bottom of the pan after the bread is baked.
  • I put my honey in the microwave for a few seconds as was suggested in the original recipe, so that it came out much easier.
