Beer bread is anybread that includesbeer in thedough mixture. Depending on the type of beer used, it may or may not contributeleavening to the baking process. Thus, beer breads range from heavy, unleavened loaves to light breads and rolls incorporatingbaker's yeast. The flavor of beer bread is sometimes enhanced with other flavors, such as cheese or herbs.

Beer bread can be a simplequick bread or ayeast bread flavored with beer. Beer and bread have a common creation process:yeast is used to turnsugars intocarbon dioxide andalcohol. In the case of bread, a great percentage of the alcohol evaporates during the baking process.

Beer bread can be made simply withflour, beer, and sugar. Some bottled beers—especiallycraft beers—may intentionally have visible dormant, but live, yeast sediment at the bottom of the bottle. However, many mass-market beers have the live yeast filtered out. Without sufficient leavening from the beer, a loaf of beer bread will be fairly dense and heavy unless an additional leavening agent (e.g.,baking soda,baking powder, baker's yeast and sugar,sourdough starter, or wild yeast cultured from the environment) is added.Self-raising flour may be used because it is a mixture of flour and leavening agent. Beer bread made without a leavening agent is very sturdy, but tends not to lose moisture when cooked for a long time; lengthier cooking tends to produce a thicker crust.^{[citation needed]} Pre-packaged beer bread mixes, with the dry ingredients and leavening agents already included, are available to purchase.

Different styles of beer bread can be made by using different beers; for instance, astout ordark beer will give a darker bread with more pronounced flavor. Using a beer that is spiced, or has a flavor added, will make a bread with a similar flavor, but less intense than the beer.

Any number of additional flavorings may be used to enhance the flavor of beer bread. They includecheddar anddill,sun-dried tomato and herb,garlic andfeta, etc., added to the mix of dry ingredients. One consideration when choosing flavors is that if the beer bread is not going to be eaten straight away, the flavors will become enhanced upon storage.^{[citation needed]}
