Flour: You can make this beer bread with all-purpose flour, or use a 50-50 combination of white whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour. I've made this both ways with great success. I haven't tested this with bread flour.

Store the bread wrapped in foil, so it doesn't become too moist. You can leave it at room temperature for up to three days or store it in the refrigerator for up to five days. You also can freeze the beer bread whole or sliced for up to three months.

When this whole “lockdown” thing started, one of the first things stores ran out of was yeast. That’s when I remembered that beer bread recipe that I used to make with my mom and I insisted to my husband that we try it! No yeast needed!!

Easy One Bowl, No Yeast Beer Bread
Like other quick breads, beer bread is super easy to make! There’s no waiting for bread to rise or worrying that you’ll “mess up” that process. It’s nearly impossible to mess up!
When adding the beer, pour slowly in case it starts to foam. Allow the foam to settle a bit, then keep pouring.

Quick And Easy Beer Bread
You can use any type of beer, so go with your favorite! Each type of beer will provide its own unique flavor to the bread, so its fun to experiment!
Just like the beer itself, a lighter beer will create a milder bread, while a darker beer will give you a bread with more intense flavor profile.
Not to worry! Beer is low in alcohol to begin with, and by the time your bread is done baking, most (if not all) of the alcohol will evaporate.

In an article for the Pittsburg Post-Gazette, Robert Bates, who teaches industrial food fermentation at the University of Florida, says that there’s no more alcohol in a loaf of fresh-baked beer bread than “if you squeezed a fresh orange.” You cannot get drunk, or even tipsy, from eating beer bread.
Yes! The carbonation is what really matters here, as it interacts with the sugar and the baking powder to help the bread rise.
As we mentioned above, almost all of the alcohol cooks out of the bread; however, non-alcoholic beer is a perfectly acceptable substitute if you want all the flavor and zero alcohol.

Beer bread can last for a few days if you keep it in a sealed container. We usually just put ours in a large ziplock bag!
You could also freeze it for later, and it would keep for about a month in the freezer. Be sure to use freezer bags for this to prevent freezer burn.

Unfortunately, the process of making bread from scratch isn’t so comforting. In fact, it can be kind of stressful. There are so many steps: mixing, kneading, rising, punching down, and yet another round of rising before baking. And yeast is a fiddly ingredient that doesn’t always work the way you want it to. You have to coax it along, giving it just the right amount of moisture and heat, to get it to do its job.
Easy Homemade Bread Without Yeast
What we could all really use right now is a nice, simple bread recipe without the yeast. And here it is: Easy No Yeast Beer Bread.
The key to this is, beer already has yeast in it. So when you mix beer with flour, sugar, and other ingredients of your choosing, that yeast goes right to work on the sugar and helps the bread rise. You get the yeasty taste and light texture of a traditional kneaded bread without all the work and time required to make one.
Both canned and bottled beers work in this recipe, but the type of beer you choose affects the flavor. For instance, darker beers having a stronger, heartier taste. Also, if the beer has any added flavors, like a spiced brew or chocolate stout, those will come through in the bread. For a neutral-tasting bread, use the most boring, bland beer you can find.
Simple Beer Bread Recipe (no Yeast)
Beer has yeast, but it doesn’t always have enough to make the bread rise on its own. Craft brews sometimes leave the live yeast in (it forms a sort of sediment in the bottle), but mass-produced beers usually filter it out. If you relied on just the beer for rising, it might come out too dense. The baking powder is a fail-safe to make sure it’s nice and light. But if you use self-rising flour, you can leave out the baking powder, along with the salt.
It should come out moist and tender on the inside, with a hearty, chewy, butter-laden crust. If you prefer it with a softer crust, you can mix the melted butter into the batter instead of pouring it on top.
Stand Mixer:Mix ingredients for a variety of recipes from slowly stirring in chunky ingredients, like nuts or chocolate chips, at speed one to whipping egg whites or heavy cream.
