Honey Beer Bread

I found this Honey Beer Bread recipe, baked it and never looked back. It is requested often, so I make it at least once a month. This recipe is so easy! It doesn’t need yeast so you don’t have to wait for it to rise, and it only takes 6 ingredients. In recipes with only a handful of ingredients, the quality of those items make all the difference.

The Flavor:

The Beer

The beauty of this recipe is that the type of beer you choose affects the flavor of the loaf. I’ve tried a couple of options but I lean toward a lighter flavored beer for a subtle taste. If you’d like a more robust flavor, go with a stout beer.

The Butter

I cannot stress enough the importance of using a good quality butter, I highly recommend Kerrygold. I’ll go as far as saying… bake it with Kerrygold or don’t bake it at all 🙂

The Honey

Honey is perfect for adding a little sweet to the savory.

The Bubbly Science

Skip the traditional yeast and opt for a bubbly alternative: beer. But how does it work? The carbonation, which is simply carbon dioxide dissolved into the beer, becomes the leavening agent which causes the dough to rise.

The Versatility

This Honey Beer Bread is delicious and pairs well with a variety of vittles anytime of day. For breakfast, my neighbor likes to toast it and add some of my Raspberry Freezer Jam, while other friends use butter and/or honey. For a nice comfort food in the afternoon, I dip it in a bowl of warm chicken noodle soup. A dinner favorite is breaking up a piece in the bottom of a bowl and smothering it with steaming Irish Stew.

If you brew up some of this deliciousness, let me know what YOU pair it with.
