Beer Bread
I saw that Tastefully Simple has $6 Beer Bread! I was appalled to say the least. I haven’t made it in quite a while but I broke out my old recipe and flour sifter and had at it. I figure I’m into this bread for about 50 cents in dry ingredients. (This recipe is courtesy of Jack over at The Survival Podcast.)
Beer Bread Ingredients
- 3 cups flour (sifted)
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 (12 ounce) can beer
- ¼ cup melted butter
Mix the dry ingredients. Sifted flour is a must! Otherwise it ends up more cake than bread.
Add the beer. I’ve used all kinds and they all make a fine loaf. I do find that more complex beers add subtle flavors, but Bud is just fine too.
Mix the dry ingredients with the beer and pour into a greased loaf pan. Pour the melted butter over the batter and place into a 375 deg. pre-heated oven.
Let it bake for an hour. The smells will drive you crazy!
Remove from the oven and then on to the most difficult part. Trying to let the bread cool for 15minutes without diving right in!
Beer Bread Wrap-Up
It is awesome with butter or I love it with Peanut Butter. It is a quick and easy treat to whip up on a chilly and grey Sunday.

Mike,
This is a great recipe. I saw you post this afternoon and already tried it. It was so easy that my 8-year-old daughter made it (with very little help). The loaf is half gone already – it goes great with the Tastefully Simple onion-onion dip. Also thanks for calling out my bread recipe. I think there is a time for both types of bread.

I’m a big fan of this recipe. Your bread looks awesome I just haven’t had time to try it out yet, like I said it is on my “to do” list.
I have made this bread a couple times now, some with variations. I brought it to Thanksgiving and it seems someone hid it because they wanted it all for themselves.
It is so good after it has come out of the oven and cooled off a bit. Yum!!
The hardest part is waiting for it to cool down!
I used to make Coffee Can Bread when I was younger & this sounds a lot like it . You can’t find metal Coffee cans much any more . My bread called for a little bit of Ginger . It was a sweet bread , not a desert bread , but just a little sweetness.
That sounds good! My Mom used to make Pumpkin Bread in coffee cans it was one of my favorites, growing up. I buy this cheap (and semi-nasty) store brand coffee just for the cans, it drives my wife nuts that I’ll drink cruddy coffee for the metal can.
Love the Dillo bottle opener.
LaRue Rocks!
Is this self rising flour or all purpose flour?
