Ingredients
- Nonstick spray
- 8 ounces all-purpose flour
- 4 ounces whole-wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
- 4 1/2 ounces sharp Cheddar, grated
- 12 ounces cold beer, ale or stout
- 1 to 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds, optional
Directions
Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat the inside of a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan with the nonstick spray and set aside.
Whisk together the all-purpose flour, wheat flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and dill in a large mixing bowl. Add in the cheese and stir in the beer just to combine. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the sunflower seeds, if using.
Bake on the middle rack of the oven until the bread reaches an internal temperature of 210 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 45 to 55 minutes.
Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer the loaf to a cooling rack for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

This was excellent!!! My hubby likes Beer Bread. This was easy to make and turned out really moist and tasty!! The cheddar really gives it a nice taste and the dill kept him guessing what else was in it!

This was quick and easy, but there are two things one should be aware of before one makes it. 1 1/2 t. of salt was too much for my taste, and I would suggest adding the beer slowly instead of pouring the whole bottle in. I poured the whole bottle in and the mixture did not look like Alton's video - it was soup! I ended up adding more flour to get it closer to the consistency seen on the video.
