Tips and Tricks

  • Pick a beer you like: This recipe will work with all different types of beer, so make sure you pick one you love the taste of. You can even make it with soda.
  • Don’t replace the self-rising flour: The self-rising flour in this recipe can’t be replaced with all purpose flour.

Storing

Store your beer bread in an airtight container for four to five days. This bread is also great for freezing. You can freeze it as single layers or as a whole loaf. Store it in an airtight container or tightly wrapped in the freezer for up to three months.

    I made bread on Saturday and Monday and pizza dough on Sunday. This recipe is dangerous and as you can see I already have a bread making addiction :) This looks amazingly delish!

    • Lisa Longley says

      But really. Is there anything better than a good carb loaded recipe??

  2. Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust says

    I think you’ve inspired me to make dinner more fun. Right now it’s just a battle. “Eat your veggies.” “Put your plate in front of you.” “Get your hair out of your plate.” “CHEW WITH YOUR MOUTH CLOSED!!!!!!!!!” (FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME TODAY.)

    I need to make it more fun!!! And add this bread, because OMG. SO good!

    • Lisa Longley says

      Oh. See that meal in my house is called breakfast. It’s ugly and there is a lot of screaming. Mainly me. :)

  3. Trish - Mom On Timeout says

    Your dinners sound a lot like ours except Bryce likes “Why did the chicken cross the road?” type jokes and they just NEVER make any sense but we can’t help but laugh because he’s so tickled with himself :) So sweet.

    Now this bread.

    Oh. My. Goodness. All I can say is I wish we had this with our chilli on Sunday – it would have been perfect! Definitely going to make it on the menu soon though! Pinned!

    • Lisa Longley says

      I know exactly what you are talking about! Those sound like Gavin’s jokes! Thanks so much for the pin Trish!!

  4. Heather @ French Press says

    yum and yum! LOVE bread, cheese, and spicy :)

    • Lisa Longley says

      Thanks Heather!!

  5. Amy of while wearing heels says

    I did see that picture on Instagram! You take such beautiful pictures and make such delicious things..oh, and you apparently make funny people too :)

  6. Cathy@LemonTreeDwelling says

    I would say our dinners are funny too….but the reality is they’re just sheer chaos. Because none of my kids know when to quit! I love your Quinny stories – she cracks me up :) And I seriously love this recipe!!!

  7. Jen Nikolaus says

    I have to admit that I’ve never made beer bread before! Seeing all of your yummy pictures makes me think I’m seriously missing out. I gotta try this! Also, kids are crazy and say the funniest things! I love it!!

    • Lisa Longley says

      Oh, it’s SO easy!!! I thought it was all tricky, but a bread that only has like three main ingredients? Yes please!

  8. Lindsay @ Life, Love and Sugar says

    Your kids sound adorable! And this bread looks awesome! Love the jalapenos and cream cheese – yum!

    • Lisa Longley says

      They definitely have their moments. Thanks Lindsay!

  9. Ashley @ Kitchen Meets Girl says

    Hee – your dinners sound like mine. My 6-year old is totally into “joke” telling right now, usually ones he’s made up and we don’t get. But the laughter is totally real and I love it and I wish I could box it up and carry it with me forever.

    LOVE this bread – beer bread is a staple for me during football (any/all) season, and a popper version? Heck, yes.

    • Lisa Longley says

      Isn’t kid humor the best?? Thanks Ashley!

    So this just made me feel hungry again.
