I am a true bread lover. I do not discriminate against bread and love it in all its forms.

But when I tell you that this is by far the easiest way and one of the most crowd pleasing, I am not exaggerating. This easy honey beer bread recipe only takes a handful of ingredients, and tastes like you spent all day making it.

HONEY BEER BREAD INGREDIENTS:
12 ounces of beer (your favorite beer or any type of beer you have on hand)
Honey
All-Purpose Flour
Baking Powder – this works as a leavening agent in the bread. Don’t miss this part!
Butter
Kosher Salt
Seriously, friends, it could not be easier.
HOW TO MAKE HONEY BEER BREAD:
1. Grease the inside of your bread pan. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Add dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and kosher salt to a large bowl. Follow with wet ingredients.
3. Pour in beer.
The type of beer will change the bread flavor slightly. I prefer to use lighter beers, but a darker/richer beer will create a bolder result.
4. Pour in honey.
5. Stir ingredients together.
It will turn into a sticky ball of dough that looks something like this.
6. Spoon into well-greased bread pan.
7. Top with butter slices.
Adding the butter to the top of the batter creates a crispy, buttery crust on the top and bottom that is just out of this world.
8. Bake and serve hot!
Enjoy your fresh baked bread, maybe even with a little extra butter or extra honey 😉 If you’re feeling adventurous, I highly suggest mixing up your own homemade honey butter to serve with it!
I hope this easy honey beer bread recipe is a new crowd favorite in your home, too!
Happy baking 🙂
