No-Knead Beer Bread
First up, check out this fantastic image of our glorious creation. Who knew something so easy could look this good?
Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 (12-ounce) beer (your choice, but hey, why not go for something hoppy?)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (optional but recommended for that golden topping)
Instructions:
- In a stunningly large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Whisk it up like you mean it! You’re looking for a uniform mixture here.
- Now, pour in that beer (the closer you get to the end of the bottle, the happier your dough will be; just kidding…or not). Stir until everything is combined. Your dough might be a bit shaggy, but that’s totally cool!
- Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let it sit for about 1-2 hours. This is like the dough’s time to chill in its own little spa. After all, it deserves it!
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If you have a Dutch oven, get that out because your bread is going to bake inside it. If you don’t have one, any oven-safe pot with a lid will do. Your pot should be as hot as your mom’s Sunday roast when you pop the dough in it!
- Once the dough has risen and is looking pretty fabulous, carefully transfer it to your hot pot. You can shape it a bit if you’re feeling ambitious, or just plop it in there—no judgments!
- Cover and bake for about 30 minutes. Then remove the lid and let it bake for another 15-20 minutes until it’s all golden-brown and irresistible. Your kitchen will smell like a brewery and a bakery went on a date, and it was fabulous!
- Don’t forget to drizzle that melted butter on top if you want to take your bread experience through the roof.
- When it’s done, let it cool for a bit (if you can resist) and then slice into that beautiful loaf. Serve it with butter, cheese, or straight up—just don’t forget the beer to wash it down!
But there you have it, a simple and scrumptious No-Knead Beer Bread that’s sure to impress your friends and make your kitchen smell divine! Happy baking!
