Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°.

Prepare bread pan by greasing with butter. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar with a whisk. Make a well in the center. Add bacon, about 3/4 of cheese and full beer into the well.


Stir mixture with a spoon until combined.


Pour mixture into prepared bread pan. Add remaining cheese. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of butter. Bake for 30 minutes.


Remove from oven and drizzle remaining butter over the top.


Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until browned on top and loaf thumps when you tap the top.


Remove to a wire rack and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and allow to cool on wire rack. You can brush with more butter if you choose.
