Beer batter bread is an old-fashioned quick bread that gets its name from the use of beer as the primary liquid in the batter. Beer batter bread can be made with any type of beer, but dark beers, such as stout or porter, give the bread a richer flavor. Unlike yeast-risen breads, beer batter bread is a quick bread that doesn't require any kneading or rising time. Instead, the beer and baking soda in the batter react to create a light and fluffy bread. Beer batter bread is often served warm with butter and jam, but it can also be used to make sandwiches or croutons.

PAM'S ASIAGO AND ROSEMARY BEER BATTER BREAD
I developed this recipe from a beer bread recipe on a food blog called FarmGirlFare.com after seeing it mentioned on another members post.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat your oven to 375° (I use convection at 350°) and prepare a 10"x5x4 bread pan by spraying with cooking spray.
- 2. Place flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, garlic powder and herbs in a large mixing bowl. Shred your cheese with a microplane so it is very fine and fluffy. Measure by lightly tossing it into the measuring cup and avoid packing it together. (You may use slightly more than 2 cups) Add the microplaned cheese and stir in well, but gently so it will not clump up.
- 3. Add the beer to the dry mixture and stir until just blended and no dry ingredients are seen. It will be a stiff batter. Place batter into prepared pan and even out the thickness of batter in the pan. Brush the top with the egg wash and place in preheated oven. Bake 45 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean. Cool on a rack in the pan for 10 minutes then turn out and cool at least another 10 minutes before slicing. (If you can wait)
BEER BATTER BREAD
A friend, Dan Shultz,gave me this recipe and convinced me to try this bread. At first I was quite skeptical as I seldom drink alcoholic beverages. The results were a wonderful surprise. This bread was a breeze to make with only 4 ingredients and is delicious. The alcohol bakes out of it and leaves no taste of the beer. My family...

Steps:
- 1. Gather supplies and preheat oven.
- 2. Mix the sugar and flour together, pour in the beer
- 3. Allow to sit for 2 minutes and using a rubber spatula mix by folding gently until blended. Put into buttered loaf pan or spray pan with baking spray.
- 4. Bake in a preheated oven, at 350 degrees, for 45 minutes. Remove from oven and baste the top with the butter. Put the pan back in the oven and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes. Remove the bread from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 5 minutes on a baking rack. Remove the bread from the pan and continue to cool the loaf on the baking rack NOTE: Though I have always followed this recipe I am sure you could use less sugar and butter and the bread will still be wonderful. This bread is delicious warm or cold, however, letting the bread cool somewhat on the rack allows for better slicing. Use a serrated knife.
Tips:
- Use cold beer: Cold beer helps to create a light and crispy batter.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough.
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help to create a golden brown crust on the bread.
- Cook the bread over medium heat: Cooking the bread over medium heat will help to prevent it from burning.
- Flip the bread halfway through cooking: Flipping the bread halfway through cooking will help to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Serve the bread warm: Beer batter bread is best served warm, with butter, honey, or your favorite jam.
Conclusion:
Beer batter bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special treat for your next party, beer batter bread is sure to please. With its light and crispy crust and fluffy interior, beer batter bread is a bread that everyone will love.
