Even if you don’t drink beer (me) you will love this Instant Pot beer bread recipe. I had always made it in the oven but this year I made this popular pressure cooker bread in my favorite “fancy” machine and it was one less thing I had to keep an eye on + I didn’t have to heat up my whole house to bake it. Win! One of the best side dish / appetizer Instant Pot recipes we have here!

If you’ve never had beer bread it is a dense bread that is perfect paired with a variety of dips. It’s seriously the best appetizer during the holidays. Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas are not the same without serving the best beer bread recipe.

• Now you can make Instant Pot beer bread when your oven is full!

Just cut it up into small chunks. Just big enough to smother it with our pressure cooker fondue,  beer cheese dip recipe or another one of the best hot dip recipes.

You know what’s great other than it is so yummy, there are only 3 ingredients for this basic beer bread!! Adding cheese and chiles makes it a total of 5 but seriously that is so easy. I always have what I need on hand too so it is a quick pressure cooker appetizer I can throw together.

• I like Instant Pot beer bread because it doesn’t require time to rise or the need for dry yeast.

The self rising flour is all you need and it works great to rise just enough. Remember that beer bread is not really fluffy….but perfect for dipping!

• 2 tbsp butter salted, melted
• 1 can diced chiles optional, 4 oz.
• 1/2 c cheddar cheese optional, shredded

Instructions

• Measure out 3 cups flour, make sure you spoon your flour into measuring cup instead of scooping up.
• In a bowl pour your bottle or can of beer in with your flour and mix gently allowing it to stay lumpy.
• Pour in your melted butter and any other add ins and gently fold in.
• Spray your 6" bundt pan with non stick spray and pour beer bread mixture in it.
