3-ingredient bread, no yeast no knead and no bread machine. Easy bread recipes with few ingredients for simple homemade bread

Crazy that those 3 simple ingredients make homemade bread, but they do!

That homemade bread recipe above does NOT need yeast to rise because you use a can of warm beer to make the bread rise without yeast.

And NO, this bread does NOT taste like beer at all!

In fact, I made this bread every year for our reunion that we hold in our church foyer – so, if I take it THERE, you can trust that it’s a-ok!

I promise you, this will be the easiest bread you’ll ever make and it is SO good!

Especially with some homemade soup when it’s warm out of the oven.

Everyone loves it!

My co-workers begged me to make a few loaves of this for my St Patrick’s Day potluck at work this year – it’s super easy, so why not?

  3. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let sit for 4 hours
  4. Dump mixture onto floured surface and sprinkle bread mixture with flour

How To Remove Mattress Stains At Home the EASY Way
  1. Preheat oven to 350
  2. Mix all dry ingredients
  3. Mix in beer
  4. Pour bread batter into greased loaf pan
  5. Pour melted butter over loaf batter
  6. Bake 50 minutes or until golden brown

✅ Tips:

  • Do NOT open the oven to check while cooking – this will cause the bread loaf to “fall” and go flat
  • Once out of the oven, let beer bread cool in the loaf pan until all remaining liquid is absorbed, then take loaf out of pan to cool the rest of the way (I put it on a paper towel)
  • Let bread cool completely before slicing or else it will be too “gooey” when you slice it.
