Ready to experience the magic of Beer Bread? Let's get baking!


Here's what you'll need (makes 1 loaf):

  • 3 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 can (12 oz) of any type of beer


Simple Steps to Deliciousness:

1. Whisk it Together: In a large bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour and beer until just combined. A few lumps are perfectly fine!


2. Grease Up the Slow Cooker: For easy cleanup, grease the inside of your slow cooker or line it with parchment paper. Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of butter or cooking spray. 


3. Transfer the Dough: Gently transfer the sticky dough mixture into the slow cooker. 


4. Slow Cooker Magic: Cover and cook on high for 1 ½ to 2 hours. The bread is done when the top is firm, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.


5. Patience is Key: Let the beautiful loaf cool completely before slicing. This will ensure clean and even slices.


Tips for the Perfect Beer Bread:

Beer Choice: While any type of beer will work, consider using a darker beer for a richer flavor profile. 

Sweet or Savory: This bread is incredibly versatile. Enjoy it plain, slather it with butter and honey for a touch of sweetness, or add chopped herbs and cheese for a savory twist.

Leftovers: Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. 


This 2-Ingredient Slow Cooker Beer Bread is a true gem. It's easy to make, incredibly delicious, and perfect for any occasion. So, fire up your slow cooker, and get ready to enjoy the taste of homemade comfort food in no time!
