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.

Jalapeno Beer Bread tastes great with White Chicken Chili
YUMM!! Hubby said move this recipe to your favorites ! He rarely says that. We both enjoyed it.
almost burned my house down….
too much butter….
have mercy on your soul…..
Hi I don’t have a loaf pan, could I bake this in a 8×8 or 9×9 square dish?
I’ve already made this twice during quarantine and probably making it again this week. I’m obsessed.
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.
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
La receta es maravillosa pero en Argentina no usamos como medida onzas, podría indicarme el peso en gramos así puedo prepararla y sorprender a mi familia. Gracias. Saludos
Can you use a regular beer or does it need to be IPA? Thank you!
