Upcycled Barley Flour Beer Bread Recipe

At Susgrainable, we transform nutritious barley grains, often discarded by craft breweries, into our upcycled barley flour. This flour is the key ingredient in our delicious beer bread recipe. 

In our "Not a Baker" series, join Ben as he tackles barley flour recipes with no baking experience, stumbling through the process without any outside help. This beer bread recipe didn't turn out great for Ben, but he creatively upcycled the end result into next week's recipe! Hopefully you’ll have better luck than him! Watch Ben attempt to bake it here!

Recipe for Susgrainable Beer Bread

Ingredients: 

• 1/4 cup butter, melted (use some to coat inside of a loaf pan and save the remainder to pour overtop)
• 3 cups (376g) Susgrainable Pancake & Waffle Mix
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 1 and 1/2 cans beer (355 mL each) 

Instructions: 

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Melt the butter and use some to coat the inside of a loaf pan. Set aside the remaining butter.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the Susgrainable Pancake & Waffle Mix and grated cheddar cheese.
4. Add 1 and 1/2 cans of beer (355 mL each) to the mixture and stir until combined.
5. Scoop or pour the batter into the greased loaf pan.
6. Pour the remaining melted butter over the top of the batter (optional but recommended for extra flavour).
7. Bake at 375°F for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
