This easy two-ingredient beer bread is perfect for days when you want fresh, homemade bread without complicated steps or long preparation. Using just self-rising flour and a bottle of beer, the recipe turns simple pantry staples into a warm, hearty loaf with minimal effort. The beer adds flavor and helps the bread rise, while the slow cooker gently bakes it into a soft, satisfying loaf with a slightly crisp exterior. It’s an ideal way to use leftover beer and create something comforting for soups, stews, or casual family meals.
To make it, simply mix three cups of self-rising flour with one 12-ounce bottle of beer in a large bowl until just combined—no kneading required. Line your slow cooker with parchment paper so the bread lifts out easily, then pour in the batter and spread it evenly. Cover and cook on high for about two to three hours, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once done, carefully lift the bread out using the parchment, and allow it to cool on a rack before slicing. The result is a rustic, flavorful loaf that proves homemade bread doesn’t have to be complicated to be delicious.
