Here’s a recipe for 2-Ingredient Slow Cooker Beer Bread that’s super simple and delicious.
2-Ingredient Slow Cooker Beer Bread
Ingredients:
-
3 cups self-rising flour
(If you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own by mixing 3 cups all-purpose flour + 1 tablespoon baking powder + 1 teaspoon salt.) -
1 can (12 oz) beer
(Any kind works, but a lager or ale works great for a nice flavor.)
Equipment:
-
Slow cooker (6-quart or similar size)
-
Mixing bowl
-
Wooden spoon or spatula
-
Parchment paper or slow cooker liner (optional, for easier cleanup)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the slow cooker:
Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter or non-stick spray, or line it with parchment paper or a slow cooker liner. -
Mix the dough:
In a large bowl, pour in the self-rising flour. Slowly add the entire can of beer, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined into a sticky dough. Don’t overmix—stir until there are no dry patches but keep it a little lumpy. -
Transfer dough to slow cooker:
Spoon the dough into the slow cooker, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top with the back of the spoon or spatula. -
Cook:
Cover with the lid and cook on high for about 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the bread is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (Cooking times can vary by slow cooker, so start checking at 2 hours.) -
Cool:
Once done, carefully remove the bread from the slow cooker (use the parchment paper or liner if you used one) and place it on a wire rack to cool slightly. -
Serve:
Slice and enjoy! This bread is fantastic served warm with butter, honey, or alongside soups and stews.
Tips:
-
Flavor variation: Add garlic powder, shredded cheese, or herbs (like rosemary or thyme) into the dough before cooking for extra flavor.
-
Storage: Keep leftover bread wrapped in foil or in an airtight container. It stays fresh for a couple of days.
-
Reheating: Warm slices in the microwave or oven for best results.
