“Lazy bakers rejoice! This three-ingredient bread recipe takes under an hour to become a delicious loaf – and it requires no kneading or proving,” says Katy Beskow, author of Five Ingredient Vegan.
“The magic/science lies in the beer: the yeast reacts with the sugar and the fizzy bubbles add extra carbon dioxide, meaning you’ll get a fluffy, tearable loaf, with a satisfying crust.”

Three-ingredient beer bread
An easy loaf without kneading or proving
Servings: 10
Calories: 181kcal
Equipment
- A small 23 x 12cm (9 x 5in) loaf tin
- Large bowl
Ingredients
- 450 g self-raising flour
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 330 ml bottle of beer (vegan)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4. Line a small 23 x 12cm (9 x 5in) loaf tin with baking parchment.
- Mix together the flour and sugar in a large bowl. Pour in the beer and mix to form a thick batter. Stir to ensure the mixture is combined, then pour into the lined loaf tin.
- Bake in the oven for 50–55 minutes until a golden crust has formed. Allow to cool a little before removing from the tin and peeling away the baking parchment.
Notes
The type of beer used affects the flavour of the loaf. Dark ales create a complex and deep flavour. I love using a good-quality IPA, which gives an almost bitter, sourdough taste. Or give beer the boot and add cider to the mix for a sweet loaf.
