I learned this recipe at a cooking class hosted in Miami's Four Seasons Hotel and their amazing executive chef. With the hotel's permission, I am sharing the recipe with all of you.
Ingredients needed
- All-Purpose Flour
- Baking powder
- Caraway seeds
- Salt
- White sugar
- Your favorite IPA beer
- Cheddar cheese
- Melted butter (not pictured)
Instructions
To make this cheesy beer bread, you'll start by combining all of your dry ingredients in one bowl.
Then mix in your beer. Once the beer is mixed in, fold in your shredded cheese. Do not over-mix, just until combined and looking like this:
Place the batter into a loaf pan that has been lined with parchment paper. Pour your melted butter over the batter
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes. Allow to cool slightly to slice and serve warm. Feel free to slather some butter on your slice of cheesy beer bread.
