This Everything Bagel Beer Bread is your favorite bagel in loaf form — no yeast, no rising, and no waiting.

It’s quick to mix, packed with garlic, onion, sesame, and poppy seed goodness, and finished with a buttery crust that crunches like a toasted bagel.

Perfect for toasting, slicing thick for sandwiches, or serving warm with a slab of cream cheese or butter.

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning (plus more for topping)
• 1 tbsp sugar (optional, helps balance the saltiness)
• 12 oz beer (lager, golden ale, or wheat beer work best)
• ¼ cup melted butter (plus more for brushing)

Beer Tip: Choose a light, bready beer — nothing too hoppy or dark. A wheat beer or lager adds the perfect mellow backdrop.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Grease a 9×5″ loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, everything bagel seasoning, and sugar (if using).

Step 3: Add Beer

Pour in the beer and stir until just combined.

The dough will be thick and sticky — that’s perfect.

Step 4: Pour & Top

Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

Brush with melted butter and sprinkle generously with extra everything bagel seasoning.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the top is golden brown and crusty.

Cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing.

Serving Ideas

• Best With:
  • Softened cream cheese (classic or flavored)
  • Lox, red onion & capers
  • Egg sandwiches or avocado toast
  • Dips like spinach artichoke or whipped goat cheese
• To Upgrade It:
  • Add 1 cup shredded cheddar or Swiss to the batter
  • Stir in cooked crumbled bacon
  • Use it as the base for grilled cheese or breakfast sandwiches
