Easy Beer Bread Recipe

[@MsDawnnee]

In UK we often use beer in batter when making fish n chips. My Nan and Grandad had a chippy, and Nan used either soda water or beer in the batter to coat fish. It makes a light, crispy batter, which is perfect for fish n chips

[@luv2garden132]

Common in the US to use beer batter. Around where I live, the bars/taverns sell food, chicken and fish are their top sellers. They use a beer batter. Onion rings are also beer-battered, and mushrooms are too. I've eaten beer-battered food my whole life, and that's been a few....lol

[@marymanolis9131]

Thank you John! I love doing beer bread with herbs and cheese added and then baking it in a muffin tin. It's so perfect to then drop one little muffin sized serving into a soup bowl with some veggie and bean soup. Thank you for reminding us that the leftover beer from the holidays can turn into delicious bread!!

[@paulaentwistle5726]

Hey Mary, what Cheese and herbs do you add?

[@marymanolis9131]

@@paulaentwistle5726 I tend to do cheddar mostly but have also done swiss. I'll usually do about a cup shredded and then a few teaspoons of basil and oregano or just rosemary. As long as the herbs go with the soup I'm happy!

[@myth7270]

That's sounds delicious! Thank you for sharing ❤️ Can't wait to try the herbs and cheese!

[@BLynnE]

How long do you bake the muffins for?

[@13soap13]

Beer breads are always fun ... especially for those who never heard of them ... Great with chili and better than cornbread. A swirl of Boursin to the batter is yummy! Happy Thanksgiving to you, your family, and farm friends!

[@13soap13]

@preppyKitchen.. This seems to be a new perk for Tubers. Not sure what it means or how to access it. But thanks, all the same!

[@mcfiggy6019]

This would probably be amazing alongside soup on a cold winter's day. Heck, on its own as well! Delicious looking. Amazing recipe as always John.

[@jro7327]

John- This bread is so simple but effective..I baked this bread, used your custard from you French toast recipe and your cream cheese frosting from your pumpkin cupcakes recipe to make this awesome stuffed French toast..love it!

[@darianroscoe1017]

Beer bread is delicious. I found it a little plain with the ordinary beer, so used a very strong dark beer in a second loaf (I know nothing about beer! Lol!) and it turned out great. The dark color of the beer did not stain the flour at all, and the loaf came out a lovely off-white, just like the original loaf. I love how all I needed was a bowl and a rubber spatula. Will now be my go-to beer bread. Look forward to adding other flavors to it. Thanks for the recipe!

[@PATRICIASCHRAMM-c6u]

I just made this for my friends on Guam and they were a little skeptical watching me make it. But the flavors and texture were a total hit. Many thanks for sharing your passion with us.

[@waynevowell9732]

Easy to make and delicious. First we toasted and had with jelly, then we substituted biscuits with slices of bread and had it with gravy. Lastly we let the last slices sit out overnight and made french toast the following morning. It was all good!

[@Jeff-ye6so]

this was awesome!! I changed things up a little bit, I cut it down to 2 tsp of baking powder, added about 3/4 of a cup or so of shredded white cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, and molasses. with the added cheese it needed to be baked under an aluminum foil shield for an additional 15 minutes but it came out fantastic, super moist!!

[@ronalddevine9587]

What could be better, butter and beer? HEAVEN!

[@hs7720]

A biscuit loaf!

[@marycahill7712]

Thanks, John. It's the beat beer bread recipe!! I found sifting the ingredients yields a really excellent loaf!

[@marycahill7712]

I agree!!! Sifting is the key for a tender loaf!! Merry Christmas!

[@froggiechar]

You have a wonderful way of explaining - even explaining how beer bread came about and that it sort of takes the place of buttermilk, which is used in Irish soda bread and serves the same purpose! I actually make beer bread, too, but in the shape of the Irish soda bread. Thank you! Peace and joy, Charles (Brother Charlie's Cooking Show! )

I just made your recipe tonight after watching your video! It's still in the oven, and I can't wait to see how it comes out. I don't usually bake, so even this simple recipe is a stretch for me.

Thanks John!Making this for New Years Eve!🎉

[@anndownsouth5070]

Hi John. I have an even simpler recipe for beer bread. 1 packet(500g) self-raising flour, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 "dumpy" beer (340ml I think). Mix together and bake for approximately 50 minutes at 180*C. For extra flavor you can add herbs and/or grated cheese into or onto the bread. We mostly make it for a braai (South African BBQ). It is also good with soups. We also make one with buttermilk and white onion soup powder instead of adding salt. Lovely flavor for those who don't like the flavor of beer.

[@Rei-co7pg]

Your recipe looks delicious! But self-raising flour is not sold in my country. What can I substitute?

[@anndownsouth5070]

@user-qn2ro5du4h I know that there is a formula to mix regular flour and baking powder as a substitute, but you will have to Google it.

I can imagine the beer bread be great with clotted cream and fresh berries on top! 🤤

[@tracycrider7778]

Is that the same as cream cheese in US?

[@JayJay_4u2C]

@@tracycrider7778 not quite. But it’s consistency is similar. It’s basically heavy whipping cream as a reduction. Once it’s chilled in your fridge it’s extremely soft. Softer than cream cheese. Goes great with biscuits or scones. 🤤

Hi John, If you happen to see this, I am wondering about measuring flour. I have become a firm believer in using the scale, but different recipes give me different gram weights for a cup of all purpose four. Some quote significantly more than the 120 grams you typically go with. Is there a difference of opinions? Thanks as always for all you do!

You may want to check the website for whatever brand you are using to get the conversion. I use King Arthur Flour and they say that 1 cup = 120g.

[@glenndelconte2648]

Nice video and presentation. I must say I have never heard of any cooks or chefs referring to baked goods as "tender"? I stopped at the mixing of ingredients in hopes that you would show an alternative method using self rising flour, eliminating the baking powder and salt. Lowering the sugar content a third would help to create a typical bread for those with diabetes or insulin sensitive systems, without sacrificing the recipe. If it tastes like a "Giant Biscuit Loaf", maybe it is? You might have other bread recipes that I have not yet discovered, so please do not takes this wrong. Biscuits and Bread vary in every culture. Thank you for all you do.
