MSG Free Beer Bread

There is something deeply satisfying about a loaf of bread that comes together with pantry staples and zero fuss. This one uses just flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, beer, and butter — a short, clean list with no flavor enhancers, no additives, and nothing that raises a red flag for anyone avoiding hidden glutamates. The beer does double duty here, acting as both the liquid and the leavening boost that gives the loaf its rustic, slightly chewy crumb. Melted butter poured over the top before baking creates a golden, crackly crust that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible. Because you're mixing everything from scratch, you stay in complete control of what goes into every slice — no label-reading required. It's the kind of bread that's equally at home alongside a bowl of soup or simply torn apart and eaten warm with a little extra butter.
