5 Ingredient Easy Gluten-Free Beer Bread

 If you have a bowl and these ingredients, it takes just a couple of minutes to combine the batter and spread it into a pan to bake. Even better, it has all the texture and flavor of long-fermented bread if you use beer in the batter!

Don’t have or use beer? You can also use any soda flavor, though we prefer ginger ale, Sprite™, or root beer. The taste of the soda doesn’t change the flavor of the bread dramatically, either. Add a tablespoon of your favorite Italian or French herbs for herb bread to the dry ingredients. Add 1/2 cup of sugar to the dry ingredients for a sweeter breakfast-style bread. You can add vanilla, berries, and chocolate chips if you make the lovely variation. Have fun experimenting with this recipe! Your imagination only guides your flavor journey!
