Carrageenan Free Beer Bread
There is something deeply satisfying about a loaf of bread that comes together with just a bowl, a spatula, and a handful of pantry staples. The beer does the heavy lifting here, reacting with the baking powder to give the loaf a tender, slightly chewy crumb and a beautifully golden, buttery crust. For anyone navigating carrageenan concerns, store-bought breads and even some specialty loaves can be a minefield of additives and thickeners hidden in the ingredient list — this one sidesteps all of that with a completely clean, straightforward lineup. Flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, beer, and melted butter: that is genuinely everything. The melted butter poured over the top before baking is the kind of small detail that makes a big difference, creating that irresistible crackly top layer. Serve it warm from the oven alongside a bowl of soup, or toast a thick slice the next morning — it holds up beautifully either way.
