Bread Recipe ⟶ Apple, Cheddar, and Rosemary Beer Bread

Apple chunks, sharp Cheddar cheese, and fresh rosemary are a great savory and sweet combination in this beer bread. It's especially good with soup or chili. I used an apple ale, but you may use your favorite beer.

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 3 cups self-rising flour
• 3 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
• 1 medium apple, diced
• ½ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon melted butter

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
2. Sift flour, sugar, and rosemary together into a large mixing bowl. Pour in beer; stir to combine. Stir in apple and Cheddar cheese until well combined; batter will be stiff and sticky. Scoop batter into the prepared loaf pan.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, 55 to 60 minutes. Remove from oven and pour melted butter on top. Return to oven and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes more.
