Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the self-rising flour, sugar, and chopped rosemary. This ensures even distribution of the ingredients. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Gradually pour in the beer, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. Gently fold in the diced apple and shredded Cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter. The batter will be thick and slightly sticky. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (60 minutes)

06

Step

Remove the bread from the oven and immediately brush the top with melted butter. Return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes to create a beautifully glossy crust. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using a dark ale or stout.
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 3 cups all-purpose flour with 4 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gruyere or Parmesan.
This bread is best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
