Homemade Beer Bread Mix

Jan’s Beer Bread with Options

3 cups unbleached flour – sifted (if you absolutely will not sift at least fluff your flour and spoon it into the measuring cup)
3 tsp baking POWDER
1 tsp. salt
¼ cup sugar
1 12 oz bottle beer ( flavor is different with each type of beer)

Mix together until blended well…

Melt ¼ cup butter and pour over batter in pan
(can do as little as 2 TBSP but I prefer ¼ cup)

Bake at 350 degrees for 50 – 60 minutes depending on your oven.

Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.


Beer Bread Variations

• For a “lighter” bread… mix and put in the pan and let it sit about
30 minutes or until it forms a crown before adding the butter –
then add butter and bake
• Can divide this dough into 2 small loaf pans –adjust baking time
• Use 1/3 cup sugar instead of ¼ cup
• For a sweeter bread, substitute brown sugar for white sugar
• Add a handful of Mexican blend cheeses ( cheddar and jack) before
adding the beer
• Can sprinkle garlic salt on top of the bread half-way through
baking – after removing from the oven, brush top lightly with
butter and sprinkle with garlic salt.
• Add ½ - 1 cup cup cheddar and ¼ cup chopped chilies
• Add ½ cup shredded cheese and ¼ cup sliced green olives
• If you are salt sensitive – use Unsalted butter on top of the
bread mixture
• Use Brown Sugar instead of white and add ½ tsp Onion Powder and
1 tsp Italian seasoning
• Add 1 cup finely shredded cheddar, 1 tsp Italian seasoning and
½ tsp garlic powder
