Beer Bread Instant Pot

It is the time for some warm bread. Well really when isn't it time for a nice bread and butter. Tonight I am whipping up a quick throw together beer bread. Actually one that I can make and leave for a couple of hours.

I am doing it in the instant pot and the time that takes the most is when you put it in, get to pressure, then the time you want under pressure and then a natural release. After all that I usually pull out and with the foil slightly lose on the counter, until about 30 minutes before dinner. I then take it an pop into my airfryer to get a brown color on the outside. You can pop it in the oven for a quick second and do the same thing.

I am taking a few pictures to share, so you kinda get the idea of how to do this.

Let us also talk pan. You have to use one that fits down in the instant pot. and will sit on the trivet. I have a Bundt ban so I have to cover the hole on it. YOU WANT NO WATER TO GET IN IT.

Next I want to explain, how to make it in the instant pot.

You take the batter mixture (recipe below) and pour into a greased pan, you can use any pan that fits down in your instant pot that can sit on the trivet and you can cover tightly.

Put in 2 cups of water, then the trivet, If you don't have a trivet I put a mason jar lid in, just to keep the pan from touching the bottom, touching a little water is okay.

I make a strap of foil to put under my pan so that I can use it to lower my pan into the instant pot. They actually make slings for the pots also. See Picture below.

Set your lid on your instant pot, close the vent and set it to 65 minutes. And that is it. LEAVE

There is no need to come back until it has completely vented itself. That means when you come back the vent hole is open and you can just open the lid completely.

Here is the recipe for the bread.

Beer Bread Instant Pot

1 bottle of beer (I use any that I have - I use it cold)

2 tbs of butter (I used my can't believe it is not butter)

3 Cups of self rising flours

and a pinch of salt.

Directions.

Pour all the items into a bowl and mix. Might look a little lumpy but I just keep mixing until it is all incorporated together, giving almost a really thick batter.

Spray your pan and pour into it evenly (tip- tap pan on counter to get bubbles out and get it even out)

Cover tightly with foil, so NO WATER GETS IN

Put 2 cups of water in instant pot, then the trivet and then lower your pan in.

Set the lid on the instant pot. Close Vent Value and set timer to 65 minutes.

Thats it, walk away and come back later, giving it a natural release.

***I have been known to jump the gun and get it it out like 15 minutes after timer goes off, instead of natural release and we have been good. So if you are impatient then it is okay.
