Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
4 ounces gruyere cheese, shredded (1 cup)
3 tablespoons sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 1/4 cups beer
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cool (plus extra for brushing)
Directions:
1. Adjust oven rack to the middle of oven; preheat to 375°.
2. Grease an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pan.
3. Stir the flour, cheese, sugar, baking powder, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.
4. Stir in the beer and melted butter until just combined (do not overmix).
5. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan; smooth the top, and brush lightly with extra melted butter (about 1 tablespoon).
6. Bake until golden brown and a pick inserted into the center comes out clean with just a few crumbs attached, 40-45 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking.
7. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes then turn out on a wire rack; cool for 1 hour before serving.
