Easy 5-Ingredient Whole Wheat Beer Bread that’s fat-free and super simple to make. Crunchy on the outside, soft & chewy on the inside, and purely delicious.
Two things I love are beer and bread. So, I decided to combine the two. And, the result is this delicious homemade loaf of heaven you see before you.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Easy 5-Ingredient Whole Wheat Beer Bread. Let’s bake!
All you need are 5 simple, inexpensive ingredients to make this amazing bread.
Whole wheat flour. Your favorite ale, lager, or stout. A little sweetener, some baking powder and a little salt.
Now, just dump the ingredients into a bowl, mix, and bake.
Seriously, it’s that simple. Don’t overthink this or try to make it complicated. There’s enough crap going on in the world.
So, while this loaf of happiness bakes in a 375˚F oven you got a little time to chill.
Use that time to think about your woman. Think about your dude. Dream about that special place the two of you would love to go. And, because I just saved you a ton of money on bread ingredients, that trip might actually happen. You’re welcome.
Hey, if you don’t have a “special someone”, don’t get all depressed. Sometimes love can be high maintenance and expensive. Ask Kanye. So, you just sit back and enjoy the smell of fresh, homemade bread baking in the oven.

Josie TalbotI just put my 6th loaf of beer bread in the oven. I have used Guinness O Non Alcoholic Draft in each loaf. And I have made whole wheat bread and oat bread. The oat bread does not hold together as well as the wheat bread but I want to keep working on it. This is a great bread!

I just made this and i LOVE IT 🥰
I had two Coronitas, 14 oz., and reasoned that I could substitute the 2 extra ounces for the maple syrup, and added 2 T. sugar to the dry ingredients. Toasted with margarine or butter, it is fabulous. Thank you ☺️Reply

Can this bread be made with oat flour?? I am looking for a gluten free version.

Hi Shane –
Any idea if this would work as totally GF? GF flour and GF beer?Reply
- Shane Martin
I would try Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten-free Baking Flour
Reply
- Mary-Kate Wynkoop
I love this bread for sandwiches. I also make 12 muffins and serve it as “dinner rolls” with a salad or soup.
I’m low sodium so I’ve cut the salt to 1/4 tap sea salt and it’s still tasty.
I live also made it with honey in place of the maple syrup and half whole wheat half white flour (ran out of whole wheat). Still delicious.
I did try GF using Bob Red Mill1 to 1 and it didn’t work. I think the rice flour aoaked up too much of the beer as it came out very dry and very flat. If anyone has better luck with a GF version, id love to hear about it as I have several GF friends.

Hi Shane! Love your recipes and appreciate you! But this bread (tried twice with 2 different types of beer) just tastes odd to me. Can’t really eat it sadly. And I like beer!
3stars cuz it’s easy and looks like bread though!Reply
- Shane Martin
Hi, Nancy! Thanks for reaching out and letting me know. Hmmm, that’s interesting as I haven’t had that response, yet. If you don’t mind me asking, what type of beer did you use? And, second, what type of flour (brand, etc.)? Hopefully, we can get this worked out:) Blessings.

- Valerie Vanbergejik
Great recipe! The bread was crusty on the outside while the inside stayed moist even after storing it in the refrigerator. The only things I would change next time is to bake it for 35 minutes which is just right for my oven. I may try using half white flour and half wheat.

This bread is brilliant and I don’t even like beer! I made it for dinner with Shane’s Potato Soup (also fantastic) and It was the perfect meal! We had a thin slice slathered with almond butter for dessert haha. Must make this y’all!!!

This looks amazing and I can’t wait to try it. I picked up the beer and I’m ready to go, however I don’t have any maple syrup. Would date syrup be a good substitute? My go to is usually coconut nectar, but that’s been discontinued for some reason. Can’t wait. Thanks Shane. Feel better soon.

It does have a firmer crust than most bread, but maybe check the inside during a shorter cooking time. That could help.

Made this today. Forgot to add the salt, but the bread is still very tasty. The crust is harder than I like on bread, but I may have overcooked it a few minutes.
Any recommendations on getting a softer crust?Reply
- Dianne Carey
From my own personal experience, you can wrap the bread or put in a bag while a little warm and allow it to cool from there. That usually works for me with crusty bread.

I’d like to make this today – it’s raining and dreary out. How much wheat bran can I substitute in for some of the flour without messing things up? Thank you.
Reply

I’ve never used wheat bran in this recipe so I can’t say for sure. But, it should be pretty close to the original measurements.

- Pam
I haven’t make it yet, but wonder if the recipe would work with Angry Orchard Hard Apple cider?
Thanks–sounds delicious.Reply
- Shane Martin
Hi, Pam! I’m not sure. The yeast content in beer is what makes it rise so it would all depend on that element. But, I love the idea. Let me know if you try it.

Wow so good and so quick and easy! The dough came together in minutes. Used a can of Hefeweizen, baked on convect for 40 mins then turned it into garlic bread – to die for! We will be making this all the time. Thanks for the great recipe!
Reply
- Carla Flaim
Love this bread! But this last time I made it, the rise didn’t happen. Not sure why as I made exactly the same as usual except I used whole red wheat flour. I followed other’s advice for letting it sit 15 minutes and sifted the flour. Maybe it was the flour? Still tastes delish, just not as high of a rise as I would like. Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks Shane!
Reply
- Shane Martin
Hi, Carla. Not quite sure why it didn’t rise. It’s possible the red wheat flour could be a bit too hard. I would try regular whole wheat or whole wheat pastry flour. Try that and let me know if it works.

Cant make this often enough! My husband gets nervous when there is no backup in the freezer. I first made it with the beer I had on hand which was an extra stout. It was a little earthy for me, but hubby loved it. I have since been making it with a lager and it is perfect! As another reviewer suggested, I am also sifting the dry ingredients and once the dough is formed I am letting it sit for 15 minutes before backing.

Tried this for the first time yesterday with a can of beer that my brother in law wanted to get rid of (the can looked liked soda pop and the beer was pink – really!). Even with that, the bread was delicious. Next batch will be made with some lovely red ale.
Question: the fine crumb texture of the bread reminded me of a vegan cornbread I make. Do you think I could successfully sub 1/2 a cup or so of cornmeal for a similar amount of the wheat flour? Maybe more?
Reply
- Shane Martin
I think anything’s worth trying…at least once:) Not sure how it would turn. But, go for it.
Reply
- Julie
Like others, I’m delighted with how this turned out and I’m grateful for the recipe. I added a couple tablespoons of rosemary and other (milled fresh and dried) herbs and maybe a half cup of diced kalamata olives, and baked it in a roasting pan with the lid on for the first 30 minutes to make the crust more ‘artisan’ and it came out perfectly crusty for soup. Can’t wait to try some of the other ways commenters have suggested. Thank you for helping me make good food for myself and friends :-).

Oh, great!! I’ll check this one out in the interim!
I ended up making the bread with Kambucha! I also made a small modification to the recipe by using ⅓ of brown rice flour and ⅔ of whole wheat flour – it turned out great!! It’s soo easy to make!! The dough is less dense than usual, so I thought I needed more flour, nevertheless, I left it as it was and no knitting was necessary! I’m so happy with the results!

Hi Shane. Love the bread. 3 things for first timers. Hard bread? Sift or lighten flour. Do not pack it! Second bring beer to room temp when using honey. Mixes way better. Third mix thoroughly but DO NOT OVERMIX. Fourth if you have time let it sit about 15 minutes. Rises better. Fifth think of all the lovely spices you can add over time so you never get tired of it. Sixth lighter beers tend to go better with sweeter breads with cinnamon, raisins, & such. Happy baking from a little old baker.

- Lauren Vaught
Super easy, just like you said! Flavors are amazing; used a local IPA. My oven runs hot, so this loaf only baked for 43 minutes. It looked perfectly browned on top and bottom, but when cutting into it, the bottom was unusually tough. Is this due to no oil? Thanks for your terrific recipes and I’d love to hear back from you.
Reply
- Shane Martin
Hi, Lauren! Glad you liked the bread. Yes, to some extent the crust on the bottom is a little tougher, but that’s because it’s naturally a dense bread. If you’d like for it to be a little softer try cooking it 35-40 minutes and then check and see if it is ready in the middle. Hope this helps and let me know! Peace.

I’m in South Africa and made this with a castle lager. I had to hunt a bit to find a good whole wheat flour but the end product was amazing! I see some recipes add butter or vegan butter to the top. I’m wondering if brushing it with olive oil would be be a healthy-ish alternative…

Hi, Merlynn! I’m so glad you liked the bread. My family and I enjoy the bread with soups and chili. I’ve never found the need to add oil or anything to it. But, my website is also an oil-free site so I don’t recommend any types of oils.

2,325 mg sodium in one teaspoon of salt, 1,464 mg of sodium in one tablespoon of baking powder, that’s 3,789 for the loaf, and at 12 servings, that’s 316 mg sodium per slice, (not even counting the trace amounts of sodium in maple syrup and wheat flour) not the 198 you list on the nutritional info. 🙁
Reply

Hi, Christine! Thanks for reaching out with this information. I have several online nutrition calculators I use for recipes and they calculate many different brands, etc. I went back and checked the recipe and apparently it did calculate this recipe using low-sodium baking powder.

Shane Shane Shane, I am obsessed with this bread! It is soooo easy to make and absolutely NO FAIL. I made it with nonalcoholic beer, added a few teaspoons of chia seeds, flax seeds, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. Put pumpkin seeds at the bottom of the pan and on top of the loaf. I like that it is not yeasty tasting like some other simple loaves and it toasts up deliciously with a nice crunch. Superb!!

Best vegan bread I’ve made yet!!! So tasty and so easy! I kept it gluten free by using garbanzo fava, teff and almond flours. For the beer I used Ommission Lager. I added 2 tbsp flaxseeds and 1 tsp xanthan gum. I also subbed coconut nectar for the syrup and No Salt substitute for the salt. So healthy! So delicious! Thank you Shane for another great recipe!!!

Thanks so much, Christina. I love seeing the substitutions people use to make it their own. It makes me happy:) And, thank you for the kind words. Peace.

Hey Christina (and Shane and anyone else with a successful story), I love Shane’s bread, but just recently hubby and I are looking into going Gluten free – may I ask what brand / type flour you used or was this a mix of your own? I even see that Bob’s Mill has 3 or 4 variations (BM Oat Flour, BM Homemade Wonderful Bread Flour, BM 1 to 1 Baking Flour, etc…) We still want this to come out super yummy like the original recipe, Much thanks!

You might want to try gluten-free oat flour. I have found it does well with pancakes, etc.

one teaspoon of salt is 2300mg sodium for the loaf. Have you tried less and been successful?
Reply
- Shane Martin
Jami, it would be 2300mg if you ate the whole loaf. One thick slice(a serving) has 195mg and keep in mind that some of that sodium comes from the baking powder as well. You can try eliminating completely if you want, but not sure of the outcome.

I made this the other night and we thought it was great! I love that it was SO easy to make – I almost felt like I was missing a step or something because it was in the oven so fast. Thanks!

Wow! Great to hear, Bet. Thanks for letting me know. And, that’s my goal: to make it so easy you almost worry you’ve left something out:) Peace and feast. ~Shane
