FAQ
1. Can I use any type of beer?
Yes! Light beers create a milder flavor, while dark beers like stouts add a deeper, richer taste.

2. What if I don’t have self-rising flour?
You can make your own by mixing 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.

3. Can I make this bread gluten-free?
Yes! Use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend and a gluten-free beer for a GF version.

4. Why is my bread too dense?
Overmixing the batter can make the bread dense. Stir until just combined for the best texture.
