A quick and easy no-yeast bread recipe featuring a crispy crust and flavorful crumb infused with rosemary and Parmesan cheese, perfect for busy nights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (320 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 cup (about 100 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 can or bottle (12 fl oz / 355 ml) beer (lager or pale ale recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, chopped rosemary, and grated Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed.
  3. Slowly pour in the beer while stirring gently until the mixture forms a thick batter.
  4. Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the crust is deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
  6. Immediately brush the top of the hot bread with melted butter to enhance crispness and color.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to prevent sogginess.
  8. Allow the bread to set for at least 15 minutes before slicing to maintain crumb integrity.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to preserve air bubbles from the beer for a tender crumb. Use a lighter lager or pale ale for best flavor. Brush with butter immediately after baking for a crisp, golden crust. Let bread cool on a rack to avoid sogginess. Allow bread to set for 15 minutes before slicing.
