Ingredients

  • 3 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 14 oz of your favorite beer you can opt for a nice flavorful one or stick with something more generic like a Coors Light (there are no right or wrongs here)
  • 1/2 cup butter divided and melted
  • 3/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/2 -2 tbsp freshly cracked black pepper
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Place flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl and use a fork to evenly stir together.
    3 1/4 cups all purpose flour, 2 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • Create a small well in the center of the flour mixture and add in the beer (pour slowly), 1/4 cup of the melted butter, cheese, and black pepper. Stir them all until the dough just comes together. Do not over mix! (small flour pockets can be gently stirred away; one or two remaining flour pockets are okay).
    14 oz of your favorite beer, 1/2 cup butter, 3/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese, 1 1/2 -2 tbsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • Transfer the batter into a prepared (lightly greased) loaf pan. Pour the other quarter cup of melted butter over top the batter and bake at 375 degrees for about 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the loaf.
  • Remove the bread from the oven and let rest for about 5 minutes. Carefully remove the loaf from the pan to a wire rack and allow it to cool until just warm to the touch (about 1 hour and 30 minutes), before slicing.
  • Slice and serve as is, or with generous pats of butter (just sayin!)

Notes

  • 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.
