No knead Cheesy Jalapeño Beer Bread

Prepared and baked within 60 minutes, this No knead CheesyJalapeño Beer Bread is super easy to make.

There's no kneading or rising required. The ingredients are simply mixed in one bowl, baked to a golden outer crust with light and fluffy inside.

Doesn't matter whether you use alcoholic or non alcoholic beer, it turns out fine with either one.

It's a perfectly family friendly dinner, even if you use alcoholic beer - since the alcohol cooks off easily in the oven.

If it is your first time making these cookies then the tips , variations and substitutions , and how to store the baked bread will be helpful to you. Or else skip to the recipe and video at the end of this post

Pro Tips For Making This Recipe

  • Type of beer to use: Any beer, alcoholic or non alcoholic, warm or cold will work. Keep to a neutral flavored beer which will produce a flavor similar to traditional yeast bread. I used Heineken Zero Non Alcohol Beer
  • Do not overmix the dough: Do not overmix the dough, it will become tough and chewy, and that is not the texture that you want.
  • Check the center with a toothpick for doneness, sometimes quick breads don’t like to completely bake in the middle, so always check this before removing entirely.
  • Brushing the baked bread with butter: Brushing on the butter after the bread is baked is optional, but strongly suggested. It helps the butter soak into the top giving the crust a nice flavor and helps it brown.
  • Please Allow the bread to cool for at least 15 to 20 minutes before slicing. Torture, I know ,😱but you need some of that steam to escape or else your slices might be doughy. Its best cooled until only slightly warm before slicing as the texture and flavor are still developing.

Variations and substitutes

  • Jalapeno substitute: If you do not have fresh jalapeño then pickled jalapeño, bell peppers, scallions (green onion) chives or garlic chives will work just as well in this recipe.
  • Cheese: Choose from Gouda,Monterey Jack cheese, Mozzarella, Edam or Gruyere. I used yellow cheddar in this recipe.
  • Seasoning: For this recipe, I added a little extra spice using red crushed chilli flakes. It's totally optional and can be left out if preferred.
  • Italian seasoning gives amazing flavor, but you can add something similar like dried mixed herbs or fresh or dried thyme
  • Self rising flour substitute: I used self rising flour in this recipe. If you do not have self-raising flour, then make your own by using cake flour OR all-purpose flour.
  • For each cup of flour, whisk together,1 ½ teaspoon of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
  • Make sure to whisk all of these ingredients together well so that the baking powder and salt are both evenly distributed within the flour.

Notes

1 Self rising flour substitute: I used self rising flour in this recipe. If you do not have self-raising flour, then make your own by using cake flour OR all-purpose flour.
For each cup of flour, whisk together,1 ½ teaspoon of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
Make sure to whisk all of these ingredients together well so that the baking powder and salt are both evenly distributed within the flour.
2.Seasoning:  For this recipe, I added a little extra spice, using red crushed chili flakes. It's totally optional and can be left out if preferred.
Italian seasoning gives amazing flavor, but you can add something similar like dried mixed herbs or fresh or dried thyme
3. Cheese: Choose from Gouda,Monterey Jack cheese, Mozzarella, Edam or Gruyere. I used yellow cheddar in this recipe.
4. Jalapeno substitute: If you do not have fresh jalapenos, then pickled jalapenos, bell peppers, scallions (green onion) chives or garlic chives will work just as well in this recipe.
5. Type of beer to use: Any beer, alcoholic or non alcoholic, warm or cold will work. Keep to a neutral flavored beer which will produce a flavor similar to traditional yeast based bread. I used Heineken Zero Non Alcohol Beer
6. Brushing the baked bread with butter: Brushing on the butter after the bread is baked is optional, but strongly suggested. It helps the butter soak into the top giving the crust a nice flavor and helps it brown.
7. If you find that the top of the bread is browning too quickly, then cover loosely with foil. Try to form a dome so that the top of the bread does not touch the foil. This should usually be during the second half of the baking time
8. Please allow the bread to cool for at least 15 to 20 minutes before slicing. Torture, I know 😱but you need some of that steam to escape or else your slices might be doughy. It's best cooled until only slightly warm before slicing as the texture and flavor are still developing.
