I was walking through the grocery store the other day when I spied boxes of beer bread mix on the shelf.  Beer bread mixes are sold lots of other places, too ... little specialty stores, gift catalogs, and specialty food mix companies to name a few.  I know we've all seen them.

And I know we've all bought these mixes at one time or another, too.  Myself included.

But I got to thinking ~ hey, beer bread is actually really easy to make.

Just follow these simple steps to whip up a totally gorgeous, quick and easy loaf of beer bread. No box mix needed, I swear. 

Needing just 3 simple ingredients + a beer, I mean, we're talkin' really, really  easy to make.

And that's when I realized two things:
1.  I hadn't made beer bread in a very long time.
2.  I hadn't yet shared how to make beer bread on The Kitchen is My Playground.

So I decided I should share this very simple beer bread recipe with you here on the blog.  Just follow these simple steps to whip up a totally gorgeous, quick and easy loaf of beer bread.

No box mix needed, I swear.

To whip up a loaf, gather up your four simple ingredients ~ self-rising flour, granulated sugar, butter.  And a beer.  That's it.

Really.  

Now when it comes to the beer, any beer will do.

Each variety of beer imparts a bit different flavor to the bread ... it's kinda fun to see what happens with different beers.

But choose one that's to your liking.  Each variety of beer imparts a bit different flavor to the bread ... it's kinda fun to see what happens with different beers.

And you can definitely taste a hint of each beer's flavor in the baked bread ... so chances are, if you don't like the beer, you won't like the bread.  

To prepare your loaf, just combine self-rising flour and a little sugar in a mixing bowl ...

... then pour in a 12 ounce beer ...

... and mix it all up until it comes together to create a sticky batter.

Place the batter in a standard-sized loaf pan.  

Then pour melted butter all over the top.

Don't stir the melted butter into the batter.

Nope.  Just leave the butter sitting all over the top if the batter.

Pop it in the oven and in about 45 minutes ... presto ... you've got  beer bread.

Mmmm hmmmm.  A gorgeous loaf of beer bread just waiting to be sliced up and enjoyed with a bowl of soup.  Or chili.  Or spaghetti.  Or whatever you'd like!

Pretty cool for just 3 simple ingredients + a beer, don't you think?

And best of all, ... no boxed mix needed.
