Can I use non-alcoholic beer for this bread?

Yes, you can absolutely use non-alcoholic beer for this Slow Cooker 2-Ingredient Beer Bread. The carbonation and flavor profile will still provide the necessary lift and taste, though the final flavor might be slightly milder than when using a full-strength lager or stout.

What if I don't have self-rising flour?

If you do not have self-rising flour, you can make your own substitute. For every cup of all-purpose flour, add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and 0.5 teaspoons of salt. For this recipe, you would need 3 cups of flour, 4.5 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1.5 teaspoons of salt.

Why is my beer bread dense?

Dense beer bread is often a result of over-mixing the batter. When you combine the beer and flour, stir just until the flour is moistened. Over-mixing develops gluten too much, leading to a tough, heavy texture instead of a fluffy crumb.
