Jalapeno Beer Bread Recipe

Beer bread is hands down the easiet bread to make. But just because it’s easy doesn’t mean it is lacking in flavor. Melted butter is poured into the bread pan before the batter is added. Then more melted butter is added to the top. The butter makes the outside bake up incredibly crispy and flavorful.

This is the perfect bread for people who don’t fancy themselves bakers. Simple ingredients, Simple technique. It really can’t be messed up. If you don’t want any heat, just leave out the cayenne pepper and jalapenos. It will still be delicious.

Recipe Tip

Different beers can really change the flavor. I’d start with a light beer the first time and then maybe try a dark, craft beer to see which you like better.

    As we say in Hawaii, this was ono(delicious)! I didn’t have pickled jalapeños, so I diced up some fresh. Perfect with my tomato soup.

  3. This bread is very good. I like adding 1/4 tsp cumin. I’ve got some in the oven right now. I love to slice it thin and toast it, then add even more butter. Yummy
