No-Knead Poppy Seed Beer Bread

Easy Pantry Ingredients

I like this bread because there’s little preplanning to purchase ingredients. Since I have all of the ingredients in my pantry, I can make it any time.

• All-purpose flour – the bread can also be made with self-rising flour. See below to learn how to make your own self-rising flour from all-purpose flour.
• Beer – choose your favorite type of beer. I find that the beer is best for this recipe when it’s at room temperature.
• Butter – I recommend using salted butter for this recipe. If you don’t have salted butter, add salt to the honey-butter topping.

How To Make Self-Rising Flour from AP (all-purpose) Flour

AP (all-purpose) flour is the most popular type of flour and what most people have in their panty.

The difference between all-purpose flour and self-rising flour is that self-rising flour has a leavening/raising agent already added. It’s easy to make all-purpose flour into self-rising by adding baking powder and salt.

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips

• This bread is what I call blond bread because it turns a light brown color rather than a darker brown color as it bakes. You will know it is done cooking when a toothpick is inserted in the middle and it comes out clean. If it comes out wet, continue to bake in 2-3 minute increments.
• I use a light lager beer which results in a clean, smooth taste profile. The lager also has a slightly malty flavor.
• For a more hoppy flavor, use an IPA. For a deeper roasted flavor, try a porter or a stout beer.
• Leftovers should be stored wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator. The bread will be good for 5-7 days.
• The cooked loaf can also be frozen for up to 4 months by wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap and placing it in a zip-top bag.
