With the holidays coming up, parties and get togethers there’s always a dip, just hanging out, begging to be eaten. There’s normally a sad bowl of tortilla chips or crackers on the verge of going stale that one uses to eat said dip. BUT, have you ever made beer bread to use as a dipping vessel? Total game changer.
My mother-in-law was actually the one who introduced me to beer bread. I had it at a party once (it was served alongside a dip very similar to this 5 ingredientsour cream and chive dip) and immediately after tasting the bread, I asked her what was in it. She told me it was actually just a mix, so of course I was determined to make it from scratch, and have done just that with this 5 ingredient beer bread recipe.
This beer bread is one I’ve perfected over the last few years, and I absolutely love this recipe. It’s super easy, and the end result is delicious. It’s got a light and fluffy center and a buttery crust. So good.
You can make 5 ingredient beer bread in a loaf pan, and it will turn out like a loaf (as pictured) or you could simply bake it on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, it will have more crust surface area and spreads out in a nice oval shape. Either way – it’s crazy delicious.
The dips I would suggest making with it are the 5 ingredient tzatziki recipe from Five Ingredient Fridays, or this 5 ingredient Jalapeno-cheddar dip (pictured with beer bread below.)

Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1/4 cup butter 1/2 stick, melted
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.

To melt the butter, place it in a microwave safe bowl and microwave it for 30 seconds on HIGH. Then remove from the microwave and stir. If not melted, repeat, microwaving for 10 seconds and stirring, until the butter is completely melted.

Spoon the dough into the buttered loaf pan and pour/brush the remaining melted butter over the dough.
Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, remove from pan, slice and serve.
If making to serve alongside a dip, cut the loaf into 1-to-2 inch cubes.
Notes
For this beer bread, the best beers to use are the “cheap” beers – think Miller or Budweiser, light beer is ok to use.

LOL, my mom uses that bag/box of beer bread mix! I always tell her that stuff is crap. I’m going to have to pass on this link to her so she can make her own beer bread, because with only 5 ingredients there is no excuse, right?! This looks amazing, Phi! I love beer bread with soups and chili, but I’ve never used it as a dipping vessel – GENIUS! Seriously, a few loaves of this and a vat of that Jalapeno-cheddar dip sounds heavenly!! Pinned! Cheers!
