How Does Beer Bread Rise?

Beer bread is a quick bread where the yeast from the alcohol interacts with the sugar in the honey and rises the bread. Baking powder also causes the bread to rise, allowing the bread to be less dense.

What beer should I use for Beer Bread?

As the bread bakes the alcohol evaporates leaving the flavorings of the beer, and really brings out some of the undertones. Changing out the beer will adjust the base flavoring of the bread.

Brown ales, stouts and porters will have the most robust flavors from the malts. Lighter beers will have less flavor.

A beer with fruit tones will lend a sweeter flavor, but won’t actually make the bread sweet.

IPAs and other hoppy beers will have a bit more of a bitter flavor. Some people may not like the flavor of the beer bread made with an IPA due to the bitterness.

Alright, you ready?! Let’s get baking!!

Supplies

  • Measuring cups, spoons, and measuring scale
  • Large bowl
  • Rubber spatula
  • 9×5 inch bread pan
  • Pastry brush

Instructions on How to Make This Honey Beer Bread Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the honey and beer and incorporate until just combined.

Melt the butter. Pour half of the butter into the 9×5 inch bread pan. Use a pastry brush to spread the butter on the bottom and sides of the pan.

Pour the dough into the pan, and brush the remaining butter evenly on top of the dough.

Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Immediately remove from pan and place on a cooling rack to cool.
