Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until evenly combined.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup honey, and 1/2 cup room temperature beer. Stir in 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter and 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary.
  3. Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; do not overmix to keep the bread tender.
  4. Step 4: Pour the batter into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Step 6: Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
