A delightful twist on classic beer bread, enhanced with honey for a touch of sweetness.
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, sugar, and honey.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the honey for consistent sweetness.
Pour in the beer and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Overmixing can make the bread dense, so mix just until no dry flour remains.
Transfer the batter into a well-greased bread pan.
Grease the pan generously to prevent sticking.
Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the batter.
The butter creates a golden, crispy crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling in the pan helps the bread set and makes it easier to remove.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
Serve with butter or jam for an extra treat.
