    This is a simple recipe for Pepper Jack Beer Bread. Takes only 1 hour to make as it contains so yeast except that from the beer.

    I love making bread, especially when they are as easy to make like this Pepper Jack Beer Bread. Just a little over an hour and you have a delicious and flavorful bread to serve your guests.

    What I especially love about this particular bread recipe is that it does not call for any yeast (it's in the beer) so no kneading, rising or proofing is required. This means much less time to prepare.

    How to Roast Bell Pepper

    If you need the roast your own bell pepper because you can't find any in a jar, this is what I like to do. I roast the bell pepper over an open flame until it is well charred. And I mean well charred. I then put it in a bowl and cover it for about 20 minutes. This will allow it to sweat. I then cut off the stem and run it under water to remove the blackened skin and seeds. You can then cut to the desired size.

    🍺 What kind of Beer

    What kind of beer you use is totally up to you. I recommend something lite, like a pale ale. Using a Stout Beer or Porter might not play nice with the rest of the ingredients in this bread recipe. Remember, cheaper is probably better this time around.
