Substitutions and tips

No Self Rising Flour on hand? Only All-Purpose Flour? No worries, you can make your own Self Rising Flour in a snap with plain flour, baking powder, and salt!

The conversion goes like this: for every 1 cup of flour, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder. So for this recipe, you need 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and 4 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder to turn your plain flour into self-rising flour.

Both light beer and darker beer will work in this versatile beer bread mix. Food and beer go together like Danny and Sandra Dee, so just imagine melting some shredded cheese on top of this tasty loaf!

  1. I have making this exact recipe for 30 years . It’s so easy to make and yummy to eat. Great with soups. Thanks so much for sharing this and making it available on Pinterest!

  2. I always wanted to make this bread sounds so good just wondering i would like to make two loafs of this how
    can I double the recipe.

  3. To cindylouh

    I’m sorry but u r wrong about having to use only self rising flour. You can use regular flour and add 3 teaspoons of baking powder to recipe. That way u don’t have to have 2 different type of flour.

  4. I made the beer bread this morning and it was good. It had a taste my husband and I couldn’t quite figure out. I thought it tasted like banana! Not a lot, just a bit. Had to be from the beer since there are only 3 ingredients and then butter half way thru. If you want an easy bread recipe you’ve come to the right place.

  5. I use Ginger Ale and it tastes terrific with Tastefully Simple Bread. It tastes so much better than with beer, in my opinion. I will try this and let you know how it turns out.
