Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease an average sized loaf pan.

Start by sifting together all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Do not skip the sifting of at least the flour!

Pour into the flour mixture the beer and maple syrup. Stir until the flour is just combined.

In the bottom of your loaf pan, pour in half of the melted butter.

Pour the bread dough on top of the butter and then pour the remaining butter on top of the dough.

Use a pastry brush to spread out the butter across the top of the loaf so that it gets in all of the crevices.

Bake for 50-60 minutes checking for done-ness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If the toothpick comes out clean, it's done!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Choose the Right Beer Style 🍺
Use a light lager or pale ale for subtle flavor; darker beers like stouts will create a more robust, bitter bread. The carbonation in the beer is what creates lift instead of yeast, so avoid flat beer.
Don't Overmix the Dough 🥣
Stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened—overmixing develops gluten and creates a tough, dense crumb. The batter should look shaggy and slightly lumpy, not smooth.
Brush with Vegan Butter While Hot 🧈
Immediately brush melted vegan butter onto the hot bread right after it comes from the oven to create a golden, tender crust and enhance richness.
Let Beer Go Flat for Better Texture 🫧
Open the beer 15-20 minutes before baking so some carbonation escapes; this prevents excessive rise and gives you a more tender, even crumb structure.
Use Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️
Cold vegan butter and beer won't incorporate smoothly into the dry ingredients, so let them sit out for 30 minutes before mixing for a more cohesive batter.
