PPQ: Cheddar Jalapeno Beer Bread

8/19/2012

This is the second to last week of Project Pastry Queen, and I chose to make something savory. I've been eyeing this beer bread for awhile, and it seemed like the perfect time to make it. If you've never had beer bread, you should. For one, it's incredibly easy to make. There's no dealing with yeast and waiting for dough to rise. It's a simple mixture of ingredients, pour the batter into a pan, and bake it. Also, you can adapt it how you like by using different beers, spices, veggies, cheese, etc. I decided to add some chunks of cheddar and jalapeno to the bread to spice it up a bit, which pairs nicely with the Sam Adams Octoberfest I used. The Pastry Queen recipe calls for a stick of butter to be added on the bottom and top of the pan, and let me tell you...it is an amazing addition. The edges get crispy and buttery. There's a hint of sweetness from the sugar, and the beer flavor really shines. The next time you're looking for a quick bread, look no further than here.  

Cheddar Jalapeno Beer Bread Recipe
Makes one 9-inch loaf
Print this recipe

3 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups cheddar, cubed
1 jalapeno, sliced and seeds removed
12 ounces good quality beer (I used Sam Adams Octoberfest)
1/2 cup butter, melted

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add in the cubed cheese and sliced jalapeno. Pour in the beer and stir until combined.

Spray a 9-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Pour half of the melted butter in the pan. Spoon the batter in the pan and pour the remaining butter on top. Place in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes until the bumpy crust is golden brown.

Remove from the pan and serve immediately.

Cheddar and jalapeno is brilliant together in my opinion! I've never tried making a beer bread and have always wanted to so this recipe is a perfect undertaking for a quiet afternoon! delicious!

Making beer bread is great. I love the combination of jalapeno and cheddar and I bet they paired nicely with the Octoberfest beer!

i actually made this and it turned out really well (very delicious)! i used Double Take Belgian White beer... one thing you may want to add to your recipe is to make sure to put down a drip pan under the loaf pan... when the bread started to rise the butter came pouring out over the edges and started burning at the bottom of the oven... got rather smoky in the kitchen then :(

     Welcome!

    Cooking is fun and easy at high altitude, but baking can be frustrating. About 90% of my recipes work everywhere, but some are adjusted so us mountain dwellers can enjoy baked goods from scratch. I hope you find great recipes on here for your family, and I'll let you know if any are adjusted for high altitude.
