Notes
Alternative substitution options for Beer:
- Carbonated water or soda water: This is a good substitute for beer as it provides carbonation and a similar texture to the bread. You can use plain or flavored carbonated water, depending on your preference.
- Seltzer Water: This provides the same carbonation as beer, which helps the bread rise and gives it a lighter texture. If you prefer a plain, mild-flavored bread, seltzer water can be a great substitute for beer.
- Non-alcoholic beer: If you want to keep the beer flavor in your bread but avoid alcohol, you can use non-alcoholic beer. This will still provide the yeasty flavor and carbonation that beer adds to the bread.
- Buttermilk: If you prefer a tangy flavor in your bread, you can use buttermilk as a substitute for beer. This will also give the bread a slightly thicker texture.
- Milk or plant-based milk: Lastly, if you don't have any of the above options on hand, you can use regular milk or plant-based milk as a substitute for beer.
