    With simple ingredients, a wooden spoon, and a bowl, you can have this hot, homemade Beer Bread with Thyme on the table in no time flat!

    *Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2014. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.


    The following photo was taken shortly after I'd planted all my herbs in late May.

    As of today, my herbs are wildly overgrown and out of control.

    Every year I promise myself not to let that happen and that I'll take better care to keep them tended to and weed-free.  

    And yet every year, the herb garden (along with our vegetable garden) gets the better of me and makes me feel much like a foolish slacker.

    This year I've even promised myself that I'm going to actually dry some of the garden herbs to use during the long, cold winter months. HA!

    We'll see how far I actually get with that!  Here's to my good intentions... 😉

     
    If you're a fan of beer bread but have always made it out of those packaged box mixes...give it up and try making it from scratch!
     
    You'll be amazed at how fast and easy it is to prepare and that it seriously takes about the same time to make fresh homemade beer bread as it does to open up that silly box.

    THYME FOR BEER BREAD    {PRINT THIS RECIPE}
    Yield: 1 loaf    Prep Time: 5 minutes    Bake Time: 45-50 minutes

    3 cups all-purpose flour
    4 ½ teaspoons baking powder
    1 ½ teaspoons salt
    2 teaspoons garlic powder
    1 ½ tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
    ⅓ cup granulated sugar
    5 tablespoons butter, melted (divided)
    1 12 ounces can or bottle of beer (the cheaper the better)

    -In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, thyme leaves, and sugar.
    -Pour in the beer and 3 tablespoons of the melted butter. Stir with a spoon until just combined and a stiff batter has been formed.
    -Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread the batter as evenly as possible in the pan.
    -Brush the top of the loaf with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
    -Bake in a preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the loaf is a lovely golden brown in color and when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
    -Turn the loaf out onto a wire rack and cool completely before slicing.

      Such a cute garden. I bet that even overgrown it is such a joy to have herbs in your yard. I want to have an herb garden next year and make this bread for sure!

      Can you come help with my herbs? I know they are probably dying because they are all indoors but it's so sad! Half my thyme is dead and well the rosemary is beyond repair. Love the sound of the thyme in this bread by the way!

      I'm pretty jealous of your herb garden, and the fact that you have a vegetable garden too! Your bread looks tasty!

      Your bread looks awesome! So how beer-y is it, asks the non-drinker (it's a taste thing. I'll cook with alcohol since a lot of it burns off but I hate the taste otherwise)? If it's more like "beer" than "BEER!" I'd love to give it a try. And I'm terribly jealous of your herb garden, overgrown and weedy or not. MY herb garden, on the other hand, comes from the grocery store, except for one rosemary that's on life support.

        Robin, the beer bread isn't very beer-y at all. The beer adds a bit of bitterness to the bread (much like a buttermilk would do) but the taste is pretty indistinguishable as beer, if you ask me. I do hope you'll try it. Great question though. Thanks for asking it 🙂

      I love the idea and am Pinning it as we speak. This would be great to use up the beer in the fridge that neither of us wants to drink but don't want to go to waste. In this case, it will no doubt go to "waist". 😉

      Love your herb garden! I am the plant black widow. Black thumb doesn't begin to define me. I love herby breads. This thyme and beer situation is right upto my alley!

      It's always time for beer bread! It came out beautifully, Renée, and I am so jealous of your herb garden. It's so hot here right now that mine are dried already, right on the plant. I have to start again in the fall when it cools off.

      Oh, what a lovely loaf of bread and I love the title. My husband would say it is always "thyme" for bread and beer...LOL I am jealous of your little herb garden. I can grow vegetables but struggle with herbs. Good luck with the drying--I will be interested to know how that turns out.

      I'm just thinking about all the flavor possibilities with this bread using different beer and herbs. Fabulous!
