Beer Bread with Cheddar

A loaf of bread on a white cloth.

There's nothing better than homemade bread. I love the smell of bread baking. I love the taste of homemade bread and I definitely love making bread. Sometimes I am short on time and don't have time to wait for bread to rise. Beer bread is quick and easy and no extra time is involved. This Beer Bread with Cheddar Cheese is amazing!

There's no need to knead this bread and there's no rising period. It's a quick bread made with beer. The beer helps activate the baking powder which causes the bread to rise while it bakes.

What type of cheese do I use?

This bread is loaded with cheddar cheese. It adds a ton of flavor. I used a mild cheddar because that's what I had on hand but this would be equally as delicious with a sharp cheddar.

What type of beer do I use?

I used a light pilsner style beer. Use your favorite type of beer, but keep in mind, the stronger the beer the stronger the flavor in the bread.

This bread can be sliced up and eaten while it is still warm. I've also eaten any leftover slices toasted with butter and honey for breakfast.

Notes

Any type of beer works well in this recipe. A stronger flavored beer will create a stronger flavored bread. I've used both  a light pilsner or an IPA with great results.

    Gee, I didn't know about substituting beer for yeast- makes things a lot easier- and I bet tastes good too! Nice guitar music with your video!

      Hi Fran, The beer works with the baking powder to create the rise. It creates a great bread with a nice texture. It is different than a yeast bread.

      So easy to make! Couldn't really taste the cheese, but was afraid to add more and mess up the consistency. It was great the next day with honey and butter. Thanks for the recipe

        Hi Jen,
        Try using a sharp cheddar cheese next time. The stronger flavor should really come through.

    Looks amazing Kathy, and so easy. That crust!!! I can imagine the beer gives great flavor. I'd love to try it with VT Cabot cheddar. I'll have to wait a bit though. We are in the middle of a major kitchen remodel. I have no stove, no cooktop, no sink etc. I do have a propane cook stove on my back deck and a grill on the patio. The thing is, there's still snow everywhere. Cooking is a chilly job these days. lol.

      A kitchen remodel is so exciting, but so difficult! Good luck with it all, especially the cooking outside part!

    I'm right there with ya 100% on the smell of freshly baked bread. There are seriously few smells in the entire world that can top that one. I love a good beer bread, too. They're so quick and easy to make, but they turn out so well, too. I'll have to give your version a shot as I love cheese, bread and beer. 🙂

    Wow! No knead and no rise! Love it! Nothing like homemade bread or the smell that it makes in your home while it's baking. This one looks and sounds delicious with the beer and cheese combo. Perfect for dunkin' in a hot bowl of soup on a cold day 🙂
