- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

- Make sure your beer is at room temperature before adding it to the dough.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
3. Add the shredded cheese and mix well.
4. Pour in the beer and stir until just combined.
5. Pour the melted butter into a 9-inch loaf pan.
6. Pour the dough into the pan and spread it out evenly.

8. Let the bread cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
