If you love the idea of making bread at home, but don't have time for the long kneading and rising process that's needed for many loaves, this beer bread is about to be your new favorite recipe! Using beer in the dough speeds along the leavening process, meaning there's no kneading and no long rising time. Simply mix the ingredients together in a bowl, pour into a loaf pan and you'll have fresh, toasty homemade bread in just over an hour. In the recipe, we mixed in chopped jalapeño and grated cheddar cheese for a delicious Southwestern take and cheesy kick.

3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt

3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Optional: 1 jalapeño, seeds removed, finely diced, 3 tablespoons sharp Cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Spray with nonstick spray.
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Add beer, honey, and oil; stir until fully combined. Stir in the jalapeño and Cheddar cheese, if using.

Slice and serve warm.
Store bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

Mealthy tip:

Don't be afraid to mix it up! Try adding 3 tablespoons each chopped walnuts and dried cranberries to the batter for a different take on this beer bread. Alternatively, mix in 2 tablespoons chopped green onions or chives and 3 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese.

McKenzie C says:

Quick and tasty! I added a little sugar in place of honey because that's the only sweetener I had. I also added sharp cheddar, and it turned out perfect.

Alexis Pearson says:

I've not much of a baker, but this recipe was really simple. I was wondering how you could make bread from beer, but hello captain obvious, it's the brew. Such a great idea, and now one of my favorite recipes to make. The hubby loves it.

Sam Dalton says:

Beer and bread? Two of my favorite things. This bread is amazing, I can't get enough. Of course I had to use the jalapeño and cheddar! Definitely going to make this again very soon.

Tal Levitas says:

Beer in bread, where's the yeast? I was surprised that this recipe worked so well. I made it a second time with a lot more jalapenos and even more cheddar. This may well be a staple and my family's future thanksgiving meals!
