FAQ'S FOR THIS VEGAN BEER BREAD RECIPE
1. Can I use a different type of flour instead of self-rising?
Yes, if you don’t have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 3 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of salt.
2. What kind of beer works best in this recipe?
A rich, flavorful beer such as a lager, ale, or stout works best to enhance the bread’s depth and aroma. Avoid light beers, which can make the bread taste bland.
3. Is there a non-alcoholic substitute for beer?
Absolutely! Ginger ale is a great non-alcoholic option that still gives the bread lift and a subtle sweetness.
4. How should I store leftovers?
Wrap cooled bread tightly in foil or an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
