Slow Cooker 3-Ingredient Beer Bread: Crusty, Buttery, and No Oven Required

Ingredients

• 3 cups self-rising flour
• 1 (12 oz / ~330 ml) bottle or can of beer (any kind)
• ¼ cup (60 g) melted butter

🔪 Instructions

1. Prepare the slow cooker
   • Line your slow cooker with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Mix the dough
   • In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour and beer.
   • Stir until just combined (don’t overmix—it should be sticky).
3. Transfer to slow cooker
   • Spoon the dough into the prepared slow cooker and spread it evenly.
4. Add butter
   • Pour the melted butter evenly over the top.
5. Cook
   • Cover and cook on HIGH for 2–3 hours
   • Or LOW for 4–5 hours
   • Bread is done when firm and cooked through (a toothpick should come out clean).
6. Optional crisp finish
   • For a crusty top, place the bread under a broiler (oven) for 3–5 minutes, if available.

🍽️ Tips & Variations

• Use a light beer for mild flavor or a darker beer for richer taste.
• Add extras like shredded cheese, garlic powder, or herbs for variation.
• If the top is too soft, leave the lid slightly ajar during the last 30 minutes to reduce moisture.
