Can you use beer instead of active dry yeast when baking bread?

It would depend on the beer, but probably not. Beer yeast and bread yeast are not the same. Most beer is pasteurized, which means the yeast will have been killed off.
If you have a home brew, or an unfiltered beer, you may be able to get the bread to rise, but I would doubt it. That would make it good and better than dry yeast.

∙ 13y agoAbsolutely! You will have to change the rising times though. If your recipe calls for rapid rise and you have active, you'll have to go at least 1.5 times longer on each rise, but check for volume. If your recipe calls for active and you have rapid rise, cut rising times to about 2/3 what's called for.
Good luck!

Why might you check your baking powder or yeast before beginning to bake bread or a cake?
Baking powder and yeast help in the rising of a bread or cake. If it is expired, then it won't be as "active" and therefore decreasing it's ability to rise which makes for a poor bread or cake.
Do you have to put yeast in bread?
If you're using dried yeast, Yes. You can also buy active yeast in jars, generally in the refrigerator section and use that instead. However, it doesn't technically rise in warm water, the liquid allows the yeast to be reactivated. You can then add this to bread dough and the yeast digesting the sugar in the bread give off CO2 as a byproduct which allows the dough to rise and gives it those characteristic holes.

When you use yeast it takes longer and doesn't get as big, cause you let yeast bread rise.More information:The question is not clear, because in common English usage, "bread baking" assumes the use of yeast. Breads that do not use yeast are called "quick breads" and use baking powder or baking soda for leavening.
What happens to yeast when you bake bread?
Yeast dies under the heat of baking, and the gasses it produced expand to make the bread rise further.
