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. To make your own self-rising flour, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt. For this recipe you need 3 cups, so triple the recipe above to make your own 3 cups of self-rising flour. Note: the baking powder will lose its potency over time, which means your baked goods won’t rise as they should. Your box should be marked with a “use-by” date.

  2. If you start with room temperature beer, it’s better. Also, put into a cold oven and bake for 1hour then take out and smear a whole mess of real butter on it. I have better success just throwing it onto a cookie sheet. No loaf pan needed. I have been making this for years.

  3. Am heading to the kitchen to make this right now! We are having homemade chicken and rice and this sounds as if it may be perfect together. Thanks for sharing 🙂

  4. Thinking of splitting a batch into smaller loaves to give as gifts, any suggestions? less time baking i’m sure, but at what point should I pour the butter on? Thank you!

  5. Made this for dinner tonight, awesome! Came out exactly like Tastefully Simple beer bread. My family ate the entire loaf!! Now I’ll always have the ingredients on hand.

  6. I have been meaning to try to find my late MIL’s recipe. But this looks so simple & tasty- both are hugely important in my book. I will be making this- soon! Thanks!

  7. I made this last night and it was amazing! My husband and I ate it with chicken taco soup from the crockpot and could not get enough!!

  8. Can’t wait to try this recipe! I always have Tastefully Simple bread on hand, now I can make my own:) Stop over for a visit sometime!

  9. Have you ever tasted Tastefully Simple’s Beer bread? I’m wondering if this tastes similar?

  10. I made it today with a coors light and it came out delicious! I think 1/4 cup butter was a little much but it kept me from eating the whole loaf!

  11. Oh no Cynthia! Did you bake it for 25 minutes, then slit the top and pour the melted butter over it, then back into the over for another 25 minutes. The bread is soft but I wouldn’t call it gummy. Did you use self-rising flour? I didn’t use special beer — just a can of Bud Select. Okay I am going to make it again and make sure I have the directions right! Sooo sorry!

  12. I just made the beer bread and I wasted a can of beer!!! I did as requested put it in the oven-really didnt need a 1/4 cup butter but used it anyway. Baked it for the second 20-25 minutes and it wasnt ready yet so I continued to bake it for another 5 minutes. You could tell it still was not ready so I kept in another 5 minutes. Took it out and let it cool down. Terrible-gummy and ready for the trash. Now if anyone can tell me what I did wrong I will try it again because it does look good on the picture.
