Beloved of outdoor bakers everywhere, beer bread is moist, nicely dense, and chewy. It is perfect for toast and sandwiches. As a bonus, it is really easy to make.

This bread is amazing and if you don’t care for beer you could always use plain seltzer water instead. However, the yeast in the beer helps to give the bread structure and flavor.

This bread is perfect for camping. You don’t need to worry about keeping yeast alive, you just need a bottle of beer. It is truly a great option for fresh bread in the outdoors with minimal hassel.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon oil
3 cups self-rising flour
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons butter melted
1 1/2 cups beer

Equipment

1 8 inch Dutch oven

Directions

Lightly grease the Dutch oven with the oil. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Mix the flour, sugar, melted butter, and the beer in a bowl, stirring until fairly smooth.
Spoon the batter into the prepared Dutch oven.
Bake the bread for 45 to 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the top of the loaf comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
Let the bread sit in the Dutch oven for 5 minutes, then turn it out onto a cooling rack.
Wait until the bread cools completely before slicing. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
