Slow Cooker 2-Ingredient Beer Bread
Servings: 6–8
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Self-rising flour | 3 cups |
| Beer of your choice | 12 oz (1 bottle) |
Directions:
- Mix the dough. In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and beer. Stir gently until just combined—don’t overmix to keep it light and airy.
- Prepare the slow cooker. Line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Add the dough. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker and spread it evenly.
- Cook. Cover and cook on high for 2–3 hours, or until the top is firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve. Lift the bread out using the parchment paper and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Variations & Tips:
- Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese for a cheesy twist.
- Experiment with different beers—stout for rich flavor, lager for a lighter taste.
- Add 1 tablespoon of honey or sugar for a slightly sweeter bread.
- Sprinkle in dried rosemary or thyme for a subtle herbal note.
- Serve warm with chili, soups, or slathered in butter and honey for breakfast.
