Homemade bread making has never been my strong suit. With the exception of Homemade Biscuits, of course. I have tried every bread recipe and they just never come out like what you can buy in a bakery.

Over the years, I have seen a number of beer bread recipes. The use of beer is to help the bread rise. After many attempts I have perfected the easy, savory bread my bread loving heart has always desired.

Made with simple ingredients, self rising flour and beer, this quick bread can be modified to fit any tastes. The cheeses and rosemary are a personal Buttered Home favorite. So let’s tell you how to make it!

A loaf of bread is placed on a wooden cutting board. One slice has been cut and is partially spread with butter. Fresh rosemary sprigs are arranged next to the bread. A butter knife is resting on the board nearby.

Tips and Tricks

What can I substitute for Beer?

I get this question all of the time. If you wanted a dark bread, you could use root beer. You can also substitute club soda for the beer. You really need the yeasty-ness of the beer to enhance the flavor of the bread. If you are watching your alcohol intake, simply use a non alcoholic beer for best results.

Can I use a different kind of cheese or herbs?

Yes! Like all of our recipes, they are easily customizable. We just want you cooking. If bread is not your thing, like mine, this is a very easy one you can take and make all kinds of creations with. It is also very good with seasonal cheeses or sweet ones too!

Would this work as muffins?

It sure would! You would just need to start checking them at half of the cook time for doneness. After then, if not ready, check every 5 minutes!
