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, adding a subtle malty depth and helping the loaf rise without any yeast or complicated proofing steps. A drizzle of melted butter over the top before baking creates a golden, slightly crispy crust that makes it almost impossible to wait the full cooling time before slicing. Managing fructose intake often means scrutinizing store-bought breads for high-fructose corn syrup, honey, fruit-derived sweeteners, or other sneaky additives — this recipe sidesteps all of that with a clean, straightforward ingredient list. The small amount of granulated sugar is the only sweetener in the mix, keeping things well within a low-fructose approach. The result is a hearty, rustic loaf with a tender crumb that works beautifully alongside soups, sliced for sandwiches, or simply torn apart warm with a little extra butter.
