How to Make Lazy Irish Beer Bread

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine all ingredients until just mixed. Do not overmix!
  3. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  5. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If baking alongside another dish at 325°F (165°C), add 10 minutes to the baking time.
  6. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
