1-2-3 Beer Bread

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Combine the self-rising flour and sugar in a large mixing bowl, stirring until evenly distributed.

Pour the room temperature beer into the flour mixture and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.

Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch loaf pan or cast-iron skillet, spreading it evenly.

Bake for 50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
