Pumpkin Beer Bread

by simplylife on October 23, 2011

Do you know what’s even better than drinking pumpkin beer?  Making bread with it.

Taking a slice of warm, soft, pumpkin beer bread and dunking it into a big bowl of soup is pretty much the epitome of fall.

And if you can believe it, it gets even better: this is easiest bread recipe I’ve ever made.  If you’re worried about things like yeast and kneading (or just don’t feel like waiting for the dough to rise)…this is the homemade bread for you!

Pumpkin Beer Bread

Adapted from Farmgirl Fare

Ingredients:
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour (or regular ww flour)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbs. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tbs. baking powder
12 oz. pumpkin (or other) beer plus 2 oz. water

Directions:
1.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Mix together flour, sugar, salt and baking powder.  Slowly stir in the beer and mix until just combined (batter will be thick).

2.  Pour batter into a greased 8-inch loaf pan and bake about 45 minutes, until golden brown.  Serve and enjoy!

~What do you hope to do this fall?

    I made a beer bread awhile ago. It was easy and gone in a flash. I’ll bet the pumpkin is fantastic!

    A recipe that incorporates pumpkin beer..yes please!
    This sounds incredible!

  • Baking Serendipity

    Pumpkin beer definitely takes beer bread to an entirely new level. I would be all over this. Sometimes I like the relaxing element of kneading bread, but I can totally appreciate a loaf that is as simple as this one!

    I am wondering…is there any beer taste in the bread? *curious*

    • http://www.simplylifeblog.com/ Simply Life

      Yes! It’s subtle but the taste DEFINITELY changes depending on what type of beer you use!

  • Britt @ Runwithbritt

    Your photography is always so beautiful. Anything with pumpkin and I”m in! :)

    This really makes me wish I had a loaf pan. I’m not sure it would be as wonderful as rolls, but I’m willing to give it a shot!

  • Mom

    I’m so glad you have this blog because your baking and bread making should definitely be shared; simply beautiful! I really need to pay attention to your methods. I made pizza dough yesterday and the comment was “how come this has no taste; it’s just something to chew on?”. FANTASTIC JOB AS ALWAYS!

  • Emily @ A Cambridge Story

    Ah, pumpkin beer makes everything better.
