Method
 

How to Make Southwest Jalapeño Cheddar Beer Bread
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even baking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, cumin, and chili powder until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, combine the beer, diced jalapeños, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir gently to mix.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined—avoid overmixing.
  5. Transfer the dough into a greased loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
