This homemade beer bread is ridiculously easy to make and absolutely delicious. Made with just a handful of ingredients, and no kneading or rising required!
- 3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 12 ounces beer (ale, lager, or pilsner recommended)
- 5 tablespoons olive oil (as needed), divided
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Generously coat the bottom of a 9-inch loaf pan with olive oil.
-
Stir the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
-
Add the beer, maple syrup, and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir everything together just until fully mixed. The batter will be very thick.
-
Transfer the batter to the loaf pan. Smooth out the top with a spoon, then drizzle the top with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread the oil around with a spoon or your hands if needed.
-
Place the pan into the oven and bake the loaf until the top is set and lightly browned, 45 to 50 minutes.
-
Place the pan on a cooling rack and allow the bread to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
-
Slice and serve.
