Few things beat a loaf of homemade bread that comes together with pantry staples and almost zero effort. This one leans on beer as the leavening hero — the carbonation reacts with the baking powder to give you a tender, slightly chewy crumb with a beautifully golden, buttery crust. Every single ingredient here is plant or grain based, so there is absolutely nothing to second-guess when it comes to keeping poultry out of the picture. The melted butter poured over the top before baking is the kind of small step that makes a big difference, creating that irresistible crackly top layer. It is the sort of recipe that smells incredible while it bakes and tastes even better sliced warm with a little extra butter. Whether you are serving it alongside soup, a salad, or just eating it straight off the cutting board, this loaf earns its place at the table every single time.
