:: I am making this right now and am bumming beer off my neighbors… Seriously, they think we are so strange! ::
There is a restaurant close to here that has the best beer bread EVER. Sadly, they wont give their recipe out and so I have for years tried to recreate it. I think I have come close and it is only 3 ingredients!
The 2 things that I love about beer bread are the sweet and tangy taste and the crisp crust and chewy inside.
Beer bread is seriously easy to make with flour, beer, and sugar. Adding self-raising flour tends to give a better result, I have found. Butter is optional and makes it 4 ingredient beer bread, but really adds some extra flavor!
This is so easy to make! Preheat your oven to 350 & grease a regular loaf pan. Mix together your self-rising flour and sugar.
Add your beer slowly and stir until combined.
The batter will be thick, but it bakes up gorgeously!
Pour your batter into the loaf pan you greased earlier. Bake for 1 hour. If you wanted to top with melted butter, you can either do it before or after baking. If you do it afterwards, make sure you turn the bread out onto a cooling rack
Beer Bread
3 c. Self-Rising Flour
3 T sugar
12 ounces room temperature beer
melted butter *optional*
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a regular loaf pan with shortening or butter. Mix together the flour and sugar until well blended. Then, add the beer and stir until combined, batter will be thick. Pour into prepared loaf pan, and bake 1 hour. As soon as you remove from the oven, turn out on a cooling rack with something under it. Pour melted butter on top of the bread if you wish. Learn more recipes, and get their ingredients at a low cost from ads like this.
You can change the flavor of beer bread by using different beer. Using a stout or dark beer will make the bread darker and have a different flavor. Use a beer like pumpkin ale flavored and you will add a fun fall taste. Try adding cheddar and parsley or sun-dried tomato. It goes great with this Classic Beef Stew I posted over on EatThisUp.com!
Since we don’t drink, I don’t have beer on hand. I usually run next door to my neighbor’s and offer to buy a can from them. Then I have to promise to make them some as they hand me 2 cans! 🙂

I think you can buy a single bottle at the 99 cent super store.
I tried the .99cent box and don’t drink beer so i used plain sparkling water and it came out great. I take its more like between a ‘sweet bread’ aka dessert and/or on the sweet bun style, only shaped as a loaf. Next time I will try it with sparkling wine.
what if i don’t have selfrising flour?
Google “how to make selfrising flour” and make some! It is easy, but you need to use it in this recipe.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Tiffany, you are making me hungry!!
Have to get ingredients shortly.
Keep up your good work…..

My beer bread never looks like that! I’ll have to give yours a try!
Phoebe, it is sooooo easy! Give it a try!
Yes it is!!!! My father in law (Pap Pap) FISHEL gave me this recipe many years ago!!! I miss him but I will see him once again during the resurrection!!!❤️????
Tiffany,
NOM! Could eat the whole loaf!
I LOVE this stuff but always used a pre-made mix for it. I can’t believe it’s only those 3 ingredients. I can’t wait to give it a try. The pumpkin is a nice twist like you mentioned….might have to try that this Thanksgiving!
This is in my oven right now!! 20 mins to go and I am excited to try it!! 🙂 Thank you for the recipe!! 🙂
Thank you so much for your recipes. This was the best one yet. So easy and the taste is orgasmic. Thanks again.
Yeah!!! Thanks for trying it!
oh I just bought a boxed version from larry the cable guy at the .99 cent store!! Now I’m gonna try your recipe! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Also found a box at the 99c store!
My whole evening is ruined! It was so good that there is no way I can eat
tonite’s gourmet dinner! I have eaten almost half the loaf already..have to hide the rest since my wife will probably inhale it when she gets home tonite!
Larry you are evil! But I feel so good I forgive you!

I did this exactly as it said and mine looks like a large oval bisquick biscuit. 🙂 Funny, but seriously. I had to make my flour “self-rising” per the instructions on the Gold Medal Flour packaging. Not sure why my “biscuit” did not look like a “loaf”. 🙁
OMG! Mine looks like a biscuit too! I even bought self-rising flour from Walmart. It tasted good but everyone was hesitant to try it based on looks. Ms. Tiffany how did your bread bake up so pretty????
Hmmm…did you put dough into a greased LOAF PAN? 🙂
LMAO!!!
Oh .. I bet I know what restaurant you are talking about. 🙂 Love their food and I am so excited to try this recipe! Thanks for sharing!
Are you talking about Wunsche in old town spring? Also does the alcohol cook out in this recipe? Should be fine for a two year old right?
Yes! It does cook out, you are left with a sweet flavor.
Is that 3 teaspoons or tablespoons sugar?
Tablespoons
Do you pour the melted butter on top? If so how much?
Yes you do, and just eye ball it. till the top is covered.
Oh my! Just made and so delish. Taste just like the beer bread from my favorite German restaurant in Old Town Spring!!! Thank you for sharing!
Hey all! I just made this bread for dinner with this recipe and its good BUT it’s a little bit dense and the crust is extra tough. After checking some other recipes I saw that SIFTING the flour will help lessen the denseness & putting the butter in the actual mixture will soften the crust up a little bit. I don’t know if this will really help but I’m sure to try it next time I make this. The taste was good though. Good luck!
I love this! I use an apple ale, then add in some cinnamon. It is so good. We ate the whole loaf in a day!
Would you be able to freeze this?
I think you could!
I’ve used this before and purchased from the dollar tree but they do not seem to carry it anymore. At least all the dollar tree stores I checked did not have it. Not seen at any grocery stores either. What a bummer. Guess, I’ll have to make it from scratch.
My neighbor told me about this recipe, she wrote it in a
Little piece of paper and took a photo but it was unreadable
And ironically its this exact recipe her recipe called for self rising flour, i dont have a bread pan but i have do a pan lol so im going to improvise, anyways, ive never tried to do bread before so thank you!
Made it and it did not rise as high as the picture. Why?
Did just as instructed and bread did not rise up.
Did you use the self rising flour? And was the beer room temperature? Did you use a flat beer, or freshly opened? How old was your flour? Did you use butter (salted or unsalted?)
Could you substitute Splenda for the sugar, I’m having to restrict my sugar.
I used Splenda and it was just as good. I have also made this gluten free with no problem.
How did you make it gluten free
Could you substitute Splenda for the sugar?
Can this be eaten cooled or does it need to be warm? I want to make this for Christmas Eve at my brothers house, so I would make it at home and transport it while it’s cooling to be eaten about an hour after coming out of the oven.
