Artificial Food Coloring Free Beer Bread

Few things beat a loaf of homemade bread that comes together with pantry staples and zero fuss. This one relies on just flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, beer, and butter — a short, clean ingredient list with nothing artificial hiding in it. That matters more than you might think, since store-bought breads and mixes are notorious for sneaking in dyes and additives that have no business being in a simple loaf. Here, the gorgeous deep golden crust you see on top comes entirely from the butter poured over the batter before baking, not from any coloring agent. The beer does double duty, acting as both the liquid and the leavening boost that gives the crumb its satisfying, slightly chewy texture. It bakes up beautifully rustic and smells absolutely incredible as it fills your kitchen. Serve it warm with a little extra butter and you will wonder why you ever bought bread from a bag.
