Keyword: beer, bread, loaves

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. salt
• 2 tbsp. sugar
• 2 tbsp. honey
• 12 oz. can beer
• 1/2 cup salted butter melted and divided

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9×5 loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Mix well.
• Add the honey, beer and 1/4 cup of the melted butter to the bowl. Stir until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Using the back of a spoon or a rubber spatula, smooth the top so the batter is even. Pour the remaining 1/4 cup of melted butter evenly over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out totally clean.
• Let bread sit for 5 minutes. Use a butter knife to release the bread from the sides of the pan and turn the bread out onto a cutting board. Cut into slices using a serrated bread knife and serve.
