Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
  2. Whisk together the self-rising flour, sugar, salt, garlic powder, cumin, and Italian seasoning in a large bowl.
  3. Fold in the diced jalapeños, cheddar cheese, and green onions into the dry mixture, reserving some for topping.
  4. Pour in the 12 ounces of beer and stir until you achieve a thick, sticky batter.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Scatter reserved cheese and jalapeños on top.
  6. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, brush the top with melted butter, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
