Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Line a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk self-rising flour, sugar, and salt if used.
Add the can of beer and olive oil and stir with a rubber spatula at first, then oil your hands and knead to form a sticky thick bread dough.
Place the dough into the loaf pan, wet the top with some water, and press any seeds you like on top.
Bake the bread for 50-60 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C) until golden brown on top and a skewer inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
Let it cool down on a rack for 3 hours before slicing.
Notes
Note 1: 3 cups of self-rising flour equivalent to 3 cups of all-purpose flour in which you whisk 6 teaspoons of baking powder. I haven't tested the recipe with gluten-free flour and I don't think it would work well.Note 2: You can use non-alcoholic beer. It doesn't need to contain alcohol. You can also use other sparkling drinks like kombucha or sparkling water. The bread won't have a beer yeast flavor, but it raises very well too.Note 3: Or any light flavor oil you like.Note 4: Optional, for taste.Storage: Wrap the bread loaf in a clean kitchen towel and store at room temperature for up to 3 days or slice and keep in the freeze for up to 1 month, in sealed airtight bags. Thaw at room temperature. The bread slices can also be toasted.
