Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups self-rising flour I like King Arthur brand for consistency
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar or swap for honey for a twist
  • 12 ounces beer at room temperature lager or pale ale work beautifully
  • 1/2 cup whole milk optional for extra richness
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted plus more for brushing
  • Pinch sea salt to balance sweetness

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray. A warm pan helps the crust crisp faster.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, sugar, and sea salt until evenly combined.
  • Pour in the beer and whole milk, stirring gently with a wooden spoon until just moistened.
  • Transfer the batter to your prepared pan, smooth the top, drizzle melted butter over it, and bake for 45–50 minutes until golden brown.
  • Let the bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool slightly.

Notes

I found that stirring just until the flour disappears gives you a tender crumb. For a richer flavor, let the bread sit overnight wrapped in foil.
