Green chile cheddar beer bread is a flavorful, easy quick bread that I will make again and again. It stands well on it’s own, toasted with butter, paired with soup. I love an easy delicious bread and this one is a winner!
Green Chile Cheddar Beer Bread
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave nectar
- 1 (12 oz) can room-temperature beer (light beer or medium depending on your flavor preference)
- 1/2 cup chopped green chiles (about 2 4-oz cans, drained)
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, plus more for topping (mild or sharp both work)
- Additional melted butter for brushing on top
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt until combined. Whisk in melted butter and honey until flour is a bit clumpy.
- Pour beer into dry ingredients and add green chiles and cheddar. Fold batter until just combined.
- Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth top. Sprinkle additional cheddar cheese over top if desired. Bake beer bread at 350F 45-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Brush warm bread with additional melted butter if desired. Cool bread in pan 15 minutes, then use parchment to lift out of pan and transfer to a wire cooling rack. Allow bread to cool at least 45 minutes before slicing. Serve bread warm and enjoy!
