Surely, I am not the only person this happens to.

But friends, this black pepper parmesan beer bread was one of those recipes.

The moment I heard about it, I wanted it.

I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

So you know as soon as I had a free moment, I had to make a loaf of this goodness.

It’s perfect for those days when you want some fresh bread to go with a bowl of soup but don’t want to spend a lot of time kneading dough or waiting for it to rise.

This beer bread comes together in one bowl, no kneading needed, with absolutely no rise time and yields a loaf of bread that’s so good you may just want to double the recipe!

Ingredients

To make this you’ll need:

Flour– All purpose
Sugar– Granulated
Baking powder– For leavening
Salt
Beer– You can use any beer from a bold, full flavored lager to something lighter and more generic like Coors Light.
Butter– Unsalted since the parmesan is salty. Melt it.
Parmesan cheese– Shredded
Black pepper– Freshly cracker

How to Make

This black pepper parmesan beer bread is so easy to make!

Just stir the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a mixing bowl.

Make a small well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the beer slowly followed by 1/4 cup of the melted butter.

Then add the cheese and black pepper to the well.

Stir everything just all until the dough comes together.

Transfer the batter into a lightly greased loaf pan.

Pour the remaining melted butter over top the batter.

Bake the beer bread at 375 degrees for 60 to 70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the loaf.

Once a toothpick comes out clean, take the bread out of the oven and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before removing bread from the loaf pan to a wire rack to cool.

Let the bread cool until it is just warm to the touch before slicing.

Slice and serve as is or with generous pats of butter.

Enjoy!

Storing Leftovers

Store any leftover beer bread in an airtight bag or container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerate for up to a week.

Freezing Instructions

For long-term storage, let the loaf cool completely and slice it.

Wrap the pieces tightly in foil or plastic wrap before putting them in a freezer bag.

Freeze for up to 3 months.

Reheat slices in a toaster for better texture.

Tips and Tricks

Do not over mix! Gently stir away any small flour pockets but it’s ok if there are a few left.
The beer you use will definitely have an impact on flavor. A dark, full bodied beer like Guinness will taste more strongly of beer whereas a lighter beer will be more mild.
Adjust the amount of pepper to suit your tastes.
