What does the beer do in the recipe?

The beer works as the leavening agent instead of yeast, along with the baking powder. All of the alcohol evaporates in the baking process, so it is safe for kids! Don't like the taste of beer? Do not worry! This bread does not taste like beer, any flavor added is very mild. Trust me :)

How long does the leftover bread last?

The bread will stay moist for 2-3 days at room temperature in an airtight container. You can also freeze it for longer storage! Wrap very tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn and freeze for 2-3 months. Allow the bread to come back to room temperature before enjoying.

Cuisine: American

Ingredients

baking spray or butter (to grease pan)
3 cups all purpose flour

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or a baking spray.
Mix Batter. In a medium-large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder (salt if using). Pour in the beer and honey. Stir together using a spoon or rubber spatula until just combined. The dough may be slightly lumpy.
Prepare Bread. Pour the dough into the greased pan and top with the butter slices.
Bake. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the bread is lightly golden on top, feels set to the touch, and a toothpick comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.
Enjoy. Allow to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before removing. Slice and serve with butter and honey.

Notes

Leftovers: Leftover bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or tightly wrapped and frozen for 2-3 months.
