How to Make Beer Bread Quick Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
  3. Add 1 12-ounce bottle of beer (any kind works, but a darker beer adds more flavor). Stir until just combined. The dough should be slightly thick but not dry.
  4. Add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the batter is too wet. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Sprinkle the top with an additional 1-2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
