But, if you can throw common ingredients into a bowl and stir, you can make beer bread! The beer supplies the yeast (brilliant!), and there's no kneading or rising involved.

I've tried both kinds for this recipe, and the beer bread is always delicious. But, the milder flavor that comes with a paler beer is my absolute favorite.

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.

Beer can be replaced with seltzer water but the beer adds flavor so you will want to add additional seasonings or additions. Don’t skip the salt & sugar, and don’t skimp on the butter or the bread will not have any flavor.

Her greatest passion is creating in the kitchen and making deliciously comforting recipes for the everyday home cook!In uncertain times like these, what we really all need is a bit of comfort. And for me, there’s nothing so comforting as fresh-baked bread.

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.

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.

Easy Beer Bread Recipe {no Yeast Bread Recipe}

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.

Beer

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.
