Quick and easy to make, this beer bread has slight beer aroma, rich flavour and crunchy crust.

Baked with self-raising flour, this recipe is great to have as back up, if you don’t fancy baking yeasted beer bread or don’t have much time.

Why bake this recipe?

  • Quick recipe
  • Easy to put together – perfect for beginners
  • No-kneading required
  • No-proving time (bakes straightaway)
  • Uses self-raising flour (no need for bread flour)
  • No yeast

Tips on making this quick beer bread

If you don’t have self-raising flour, use plain flour with about 3 teaspoons of baking powder. It might sound like a lot of raising agent, but the bread needs it. Don’t worry you won’t be able to tell the baking powder from the taste of the bread.

Don’t over mix or knead too much this bread. The quicker you put this bread, the better the rise. In a way, this beer bread with self-raising flour is very similar to the traditional soda bread.

Use any beer you have. All alcohol will disappear as you bake the bread, so you don’t need to worry about getting tipsy from eating this bread.

Split the recipe dough into two or three pieces and make smaller bread rounds to bake them quicker. Perfect if you are pushed for time or want smaller bread to perhaps share with your family or friends.
