Pimento Cheese Beer Bread Recipe

Pimento cheese spread has been a staple in many Southern kitchens for ages. I love it, it was served as standard fare at every party my Mom hosted. It was highly likely you would find a tub of pimento cheese in the fridge at any given moment for quick sandwiches or just plain snacking. I confess I am as fanatical about pimento cheese as I am banana pudding. It’s Southern caviar at it’s finest.

How to Make Pimento Cheese Beer Bread

I was inspired to combine our beloved pimento cheese spread with a simple-to-make loaf of beer bread, and the result was amazing. Enjoy it warm right out of the oven with a little butter, as a side with and a bowl of soup, or as the perfect choice for a kicked-up panini or grilled cheese sandwich. Scrumptious.

Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Pimento Cheese Beer Bread: Self rising flour, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 12 ounces beer, granulated sugar, garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, ground mustard, grated Parmesan cheese, diced pimento and melted butter.
Kitchen tools you’ll need: A medium bowl, measuring cups and spoons, cheese grater and non stick 9 x 5 x 4 inch loaf pan.
Please note, the loaf pan used in this recipe is larger than a standard loaf pan.
This beer bread is made using self rising flour. Self rising flour already has baking powder and salt added to the mix so it’s not necessary to add more. That’s also why it isn’t necessary to use yeast to make the dough rise. The beer combined with the self rising flour will do the trick!
Can you make your own self rising flour? Yes, you can! To adapt this recipe making your own you’ll need 3 cups of all purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of salt. Whisk together then proceed with the recipe as written.
What are pimentos? Pimientos are a small Spanish bell pepper that’s mild in flavor. It’s what gives the classic flavor to Southern pimento cheese.
How long will this bread last? Homemade bread doesn’t include preservatives like bread you may buy at the bakery or grocery store. This beer bread will keep for up to 2 days at room temperature or up to 3 days when chilled in the refrigerator.
Can I freeze Pimento Cheese Beer Bread? Yes, cool and tightly wrap in freezer wrap then freeze for up to one month.
