Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 6 cups self-rising flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 24 oz Bud Light Strawberita beer
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and divided
Glaze
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons lime zest
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pans: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray two 9-inch loaf pans with baking spray to prevent sticking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour and sugar until evenly combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour the Bud Light Strawberita beer into the dry ingredients and whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Divide Batter: Evenly divide the batter between the two prepared loaf pans.
- Add Butter: Pour 1/4 cup of melted butter over the top of the batter in each loaf pan, ensuring an even coating.
- Bake: Place the pans in the oven and bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove the loaf pans from the oven and place them on a wire rack to cool completely before removing the bread to avoid breaking.
- Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, lime zest, and fresh lime juice, whisking until smooth.
- Glaze the Bread: Once the breads are cooled, drizzle the lime glaze generously over the top for added flavor and a beautiful finish.
Notes
- Self-rising flour is essential for proper rise; do not substitute with all-purpose flour unless adding baking powder and salt separately.
- Melted butter poured on top helps create a golden crust and rich flavor.
- The glaze can be adjusted to taste by varying the amount of lime juice for desired tartness.
- Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For a boozy kick, add a splash of tequila to the glaze or batter.
