Homemade bread doesn't have to be complicated, and this simple loaf proves it beautifully. All-purpose flour does all the heavy lifting here, with baking powder as the leavening agent and a can of beer adding just enough lift and a subtle malty depth that makes every slice taste like it came from a proper bakery. The melted butter poured over the top before baking creates a golden, slightly crispy crust that is genuinely hard to resist. For anyone navigating a rice-free lifestyle, store-bought breads can be a minefield of hidden rice flour, rice starch, or rice-based fillers used as binders — this recipe sidesteps all of that with a completely straightforward ingredient list. The batter comes together in one bowl with minimal effort, and the oven does the rest. Serve it warm with butter, alongside a hearty soup, or just tear into it straight off the cooling rack — no judgment here.
