- Toast slices of beer bread and top with butter or jam for a delightful breakfast treat.

Tips:
- Experiment with different types of beer to vary the flavor of your bread. Light beers will yield a milder taste, while dark beers can add a richer, more complex flavor profile.
- If you don’t have self-rising flour on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to every cup of all-purpose flour.
- For added flavor, consider mixing in herbs, spices, or grated cheese to the batter before baking.
