Provided by The Chunky Chef

Categories     Bread

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups all purpose flour
2 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp kosher salt
1 - 2 tsp garlic powder (depends on how garlicky you want it)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
12 oz beer
3 Tbsp melted butter
2 1/2 Tbsp melted butter
1 tsp dried parsley ((or around 1 Tbsp minced fresh parsley if you have it))
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly spray the sides of a 9x5" loaf pan. Set aside.
  • To a mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder and stir to combine. Stir in the shredded cheese. Make a little well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  • Pour in the beer and stir until no flour streaks remain.
  • Add half of the melted butter to the bottom of prepared loaf pan and tilt the pan around so the butter coats the bottom of the pan. Transfer batter to pan, spreading it out into an even layer.
  • Pour remaining half of the melted butter over the top of the batter, brushing it around so it evenly coats the top.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  • Whisk together garlic butter topping ingredients (melted butter, parsley and garlic powder) and brush over the top of the loaf when it comes out of the oven.
  • Let bread cool in the pan for 5-7 minutes, brush again with any leftover garlic butter topping, then turn out carefully onto a wire rack to finish cooling.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality beer, preferably a light or golden ale. A dark beer will give the bread a bitter flavor.
  • Shred your own cheese for the best flavor and texture. Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that can affect the taste and texture of the bread.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the bread tough.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1 hour.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help the bread to rise evenly.
  • Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help the bread to hold its shape.

Italian Cheese Beer Bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is soft and fluffy on the inside, with a crispy crust on the outside.
