Ingredients

1 tbsp baking powder
3 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt

2 tbsp butter

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk together until evenly incorporated.
Stir in the cheese.
Slowly pour in the beer, and then stir just until mixed together. Don't over mix- the batter's supposed to by lumpy.
Spray a 9x5" loaf pan evenly with non stick cooking spray. Then use a spatula to scrape the batter from the bowl into the prepared pan. Scrape down the sides getting all the batter, and then use the spatula to evenly spread it out.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly out overtop of the batter.
Bake at 375° for 35-40, or until it's cooked through and a butter knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool for 10 minutes, then run a butter knife around the edges of the pan to release the loaf.
Carefully, transfer the loaf of beer bread to a wire rack to continue cooling.
Using a sharp, serrated knife sliced the bread and serve warm.

Notes

If alcohol's a concern, sub a non-alcoholic beer.
Add herbs if you want to make this extra flavor filled. Rosemary, thyme or even crushed garlic would all make a tasty choice
If you don't have the cheese on hand, you can omit the cheese and just make beer bread if preferred
