I have made this when I needed a quick bread for a soup or stew that I was making for dinner.
I suppose it could be made with sparkling water as well but it would be missing some of the flavor the beer brings.  Not that this has a strong beer taste, because I hate beer and I like this bread.

            BEER BREAD
  • 3 cups flour ( sifted )
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt 
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1  12 oz.can of beer 
  • 1/4 cup melted butter 
    1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
    2. Mix dry ingredients and beer.
    3. Pour into a greased loaf pan.
    4. Pour melted butter over mixture.
    5. Bake 1 hour, remove from pan and cool for at least 15 minutes.
    6. UPDATED NOTES: This recipe makes a very hearty bread with a crunchy, buttery crust. If you prefer a softer crust (like a traditional bread) mix the butter into the batter instead of pouring it over the top.
    7. Sifting flour for bread recipes is a must-do. Most people just scoop the 1 cup measure in the flour canister and level it off. That compacts the flour and will turn your bread into a "hard biscuit" as some have described. That's because they aren't sifting their flour! If you do not have a sifter, use a spoon to spoon the flour into the 1 cup measure. Try it once the "correct" way and you will see an amazing difference in the end product.

    		Thank you for these recipes.  I don't believe I've had beer bread before, but it sure sounds like a hearty and quick bread to make to go with soup.  I will definitely have to try these in the near future.

    It should work just as well with a carbonated water.  You may miss some of the "yeasty" flavor but pretty sure it is just the carbonation that is needed, along with the quantity of liquid, to make this bread.

    		I make beer bread almost every week to use as sandwich bread! I add lots of different herbs also-especially fennel-great taste-adds a whole new dimension!

    		Haven't tried beer bread, but have made beer biscuits.

    Beer Biscuits

    2 cups all-purpose flour

    3 teaspoons baking powder

    1 teaspoon salt

    1/4 cup shortening

    3/4 cup beer

    Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in shortening until it has cornmeal consistency. Stir in beer, and knead lightly. Roll dough out to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut with biscuit cutter. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.


    The beer adds flavor and leavening to these biscuits.

    		 I'm sure that all beer bread is good! Smile The self rising flour just takes place of adding the baking soda and stuff so it's easier I think. Not sure just guessing. It's always so good I never thought about adding herbs to it! Good idea & I think fennel is a good one to start with. I've had so much fun reading different peoples' ideas to the different postings. Thanks ladies! :)

    		Just a note maybe add a little yeast if not using real beer because there is some yeast in the beer that may help with the rising.I saw that on the original recipe that I posted.Someone had inquired about using non alcohol beer.I'm sure any addition of herbs would be great,maybe even cheese would be good.The biscuits that Verlee posted sounds good.My niece just gave me a cast iron muffin pan that should give it a little crunch on the outside of the bisquits..
