3-Ingredient Beer Bread – the easiest quick savory bread recipe made with self-rising flour, sugar and beer. Perfect to go with a bowl of soup or chili.
3-INGREDIENT BEER BREAD
It’s super easy to make as it requires only 3 ingredients to make: self-rising flour, sugar and beer. And even if you don’t have self-rising flour on hand, you can easily make your own. This bread is as easy as my Quick Cheese Bread and even easier that the popular 1-Hour Skillet Focaccia. You can use it for sandwiches, grilled cheese or serve with pasta and soups!
DOES THIS BREAD TASTE LIKE BEER?
It does taste like beer so be ready for that. If you don’t like the taste of beer, this recipe is probably not for you even though the taste decreases when grilling stuffed with meat, cheese and veggies. The bread is quite pale in the appearance as we are using light beer in this recipe. I would be very interested how using a dark beer would affect the looks, texture and taste!
How to make self-rising flour?
Mix together 1 c all-purpose flour, 1.25 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt. Use in the recipe.

April 19, 2013 at 7:31 pmI always giggle at the thought of beer bread. My college roommates and I tried to make it numerous times..knowing it had only two ingredients: flour and beer (and we had plenty of access to beer!). It wasn’t till much later that we realized we needed self rising flour…duh. I need to make a loaf in honor of my sophomore roommates 🙂
