Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 12 oz beer (choose a flavorful variety like an IPA or stout)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Stir in the chopped rosemary and shredded cheddar cheese, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
  4. Slowly pour in the beer, mixing gently until a sticky dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a tough texture.
  5. Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Brush the melted butter evenly over the top of the dough.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it and placing it on a wire rack to cool completely.
