My beer bread mix is great to keep on hand during the holidays – mix it up on a whim, or package it as an easy gift. This 4 ingredient mix takes just minutes to put together.
My classic beer bread recipe makes a wonderful gift when it’s fresh baked, of course! However, creating this beer bread mix means the recipient can then enjoy fresh baked bread on a whim.
Add a stick of butter and a bottle of beer to a gift basket with this mix, and it’s ready to go! I’m including a free printable gift tag, too – which makes gifting even easier!
I’m always thinking about quick and easy gifts that I know my friends and family will enjoy. I like to keep things on hand for those last-minute lunches or party invitations.
Everyone loves freshly baked bread, but not everyone makes it! This mix is an excellent gift for friends, neighbors, and anyone on your list this year.

Test Kitchen Tips
- Beer – Use your favorite beer. I like to use a craft brown ale or porter that have stronger flavors, but a lager will also work well.
- Sift – I recommend that you sift the flour before mixing it in with the other ingredients. It makes it lighter and easier to combine with the other dry ingredients.
- Store – Store it in an airtight container or in a plastic gifting bag. It will keep well for 2 to 3 months.

Is it possible to use salted butter & leave the 1 teaspoon out of recipe? Best beer bread recipe. I have previously made this multiple times, but unfortunately my husband purchased 3 lbs. salted for holiday baking. Thank you!
P.S. I have made all your breads & ice cream. Delicious!
Absolutely! I would still add a pinch of salt. I appreciate you taking the time to rate the recipe! I hope you try more! Thanks, Denise!
