The Recipe Critic Pro Tip:
It is best to use a darker beer for the flavoring but a lighter beer will also work.
Beer Bread Variations:
Let’s customize your bread! These variations are always fun suggestions on how to create more than just one recipe.
- Honey: A touch of honey creates a sweeter bread that is comforting and will melt in your mouth, it is that good!
- Herbs and seasonings: Mix in your favorite fresh or dried herbs to have more flavors. Rosemary or thyme are some of my favorites!
- Garlic: Garlic seems to be in everything and loved by most. Add in a clove or two to the batter and smell it while it is baking!
- Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese in the batter or over top and make a cheesy beer bread.
- Spicy: I do love a little heat. Add in jalapeños or green chilies for some spicy bread variations.
Tips For the Best Beer Bread:
These tips are helpful and can make this beer bread even better!
- Beer: I do not drink beer so I am not an expert but I have found as I am cooking and baking that a darker beer is best. It adds more flavor. I have tried a few different beers in my bread recipe and so far the darker seems to have the most flavor. Not to worry though, it is a buttery, moist and delicious flavor that doesn’t taste like beer at all.
- Substitute: If you are worried about too much sugar, substitute the sugar with the same amount of honey.
- Slicing the bread: It is best to use a serrated sharp knife when slicing the bread. This will give it a clean and crisp cut every time.
Serving Ideas:
Serve this buttery beer bread with your favorite topping or as a side dish! Just beware, this bread is the best and won’t last long!
- Spread honey and butter over top
- Butter and jam is always a classic
- Add it as a side dish to soup like chili, vegetable or a thick bean soup.
