Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add Beer:
- Pour the room-temperature beer into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the mixture is combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Optional Add-Ins:
- If you want to customize your beer bread, this is the time to add any extras like grated cheese, herbs, seeds, or spices. Fold them into the batter.
- Transfer to the Pan:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Pour Melted Butter:
- Drizzle the melted unsalted butter evenly over the top of the batter. This will give the bread a delicious, golden crust.
- Bake:
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes or until the bread is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the beer bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
- Enjoy Warm:
- Beer bread is best enjoyed warm, either plain or with a spread of butter or your favorite dip.

Pro Tips:
- Choose a beer with flavors you enjoy, as it will influence the taste of the bread. Light beers, lagers, or even craft beers work well.
- For a sweeter variation, you can use a flavored beer like a honey ale.

This homemade Beer Bread is incredibly easy to make and pairs wonderfully with soups, stews, or as a tasty snack. Enjoy the simplicity and deliciousness of freshly baked bread right from your oven!
