Transform a can of beer into a tasty loaf of Beer Bread! This easy, no-knead bread recipe is packed with flavor and only takes an hour.

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour ($0.30)

1 Tbsp sugar ($0.06)

1 Tbsp baking powder ($0.12)

2 tsp salt ($0.04)

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese* ($0.62)

4 Tbsp butter, divided** ($1.20)

12 oz. beer (one regular-sized can) ($0.92)

Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 375℉. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and shredded cheese. Mix well.

2 Melt the butter in a small sauce pot. Use a pastry brush to coat the inside of a 9x5 loaf pan with butter. Set the remaining butter aside.

3 Add the beer to the flour mixture and stir until a thick batter forms. Transfer the batter to the prepared bread pan, making sure to spread it out evenly inside the bread pan.

4 Pour the rest of the melted butter on top of the bread dough.

5 Bake the bread for 45-50 minutes, or until deeply golden brown on top.

6 Once slightly cool (about 10 minutes), run a butter knife around the inside edge of the pan gently to loosen the edges, and then turn the bread onto a cutting board to slice and serve.
