| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, sugar, and beer. Mix until smooth and well incorporated. The batter should resemble the consistency of cake batter. |
| 2 | Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Prepare a loaf pan by greasing it thoroughly with butter or oil and dusting with flour to prevent sticking. |
| 3 | Pour the prepared batter into the greased and floured loaf pan, spreading it evenly. |
| 4 | Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. |
| 5 | After 40 minutes, carefully remove the bread from the oven. Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the loaf. |
| 6 | Return the bread to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. |
| 7 | Once baked, remove the beer bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. |
| 8 | After cooling slightly, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade Beer Bread! |
Notes:
- Ensure that the beer is at room temperature and do not microwave it to warm it up as it can affect the yeast and the rise of the bread.
- This Beer Bread pairs wonderfully with soups, stews, or can be enjoyed simply with butter or your favorite spread.
