Ingredients for Beer Bread Mix

  • Baking Powder
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Salt
  • Beer

How to Make Beer Bread Mix

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients: 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 4 tablespoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt.
  3. Divide the dry mixture into two airtight containers (ziploc bags, quart jars, etc.). Store in a cool, dry place.
  4. To bake one loaf: In a separate bowl, combine the contents of one container with one (12-ounce) bottle of beer (avoid light beers like Bud Light or Miller Lite). Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon caraway seeds (optional), 1 cup grated cheddar cheese (optional), or both for an extra flavorful bread!
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 65-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom, it's done.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
