Gluten-Free Beer Bread 🍞🚫🌾 Buttery, Malty, One-Bowl Comfort — No Gluten, No Fuss

Gluten-Free Beer Bread keeps everything you love about beer bread: rich flavor, crisp crust, and a soft, dense crumb. With gluten-free flour and GF beer, it’s the perfect quick bread for soups, dips, or slathering with butter.

Ingredients (Makes 1 standard loaf)

• 3 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp sugar or honey
• 1 bottle (12 oz) gluten-free beer (lager or pale ale works great)
• 2 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for brushing)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven

Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 9×5″ loaf pan.

Step 2: Mix the Dough

In a large bowl, whisk together GF flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Pour in beer and melted butter. Stir until just combined — don’t overmix. Batter will be thick.

Step 3: Bake

Transfer to loaf pan and smooth the top. Brush with a little extra butter. Bake 45–55 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 4: Cool

Let cool in the pan 10–15 minutes before slicing. Best served warm with more butter.

Notes on Ingredients

• Use a gluten-free flour blend that includes xanthan gum (or add 1 tsp if your blend doesn’t have it)
• Gluten-free beers to look for: Omission, Redbridge, Glutenberg, Ground Breaker
• Want a dairy-free version? Swap butter for olive oil or vegan butter

Flavor Variations

• Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar for a savory loaf
• Add herbs like rosemary, chives, or thyme
• Use GF stout or porter for deeper flavor
• Add chopped jalapeños or caramelized onions for a bold twist

Pro Tips

• Let the bread cool before slicing — it helps the crumb set
• Toast slices for extra crisp edges
• Store wrapped at room temp for 2 days, or refrigerate up to 5
• Reheat slices in a toaster or skillet for best texture

Serving Ideas

• With chili, stew, or tomato soup
• Toasted with cream cheese, jam, or garlic butter
• Cubed for croutons or fondue
• Base for open-faced sandwiches or fried eggs

Final Thoughts

Gluten-Free Beer Bread is buttery, bold, and bakes up with zero yeast and zero compromise. Whether you’re gluten-free by choice or necessity, this is one loaf that earns its place at the table.

Pour it. Stir it. Bake it bold — without the gluten. 🍞🍺🔥
