Pescatarian Classic Beer Bread
There is something almost magical about a loaf of bread that comes together with just a bowl, a spatula, and a can of beer. The carbonation in the beer does the heavy lifting here, reacting with the baking powder to give the crumb a satisfying lift without any yeast or kneading required. The result is a dense, hearty loaf with a deeply golden, buttery crust that practically begs to be torn apart while still warm. Because every single ingredient in this recipe is naturally free of meat and seafood concerns, it fits a pescatarian table without any substitutions or workarounds whatsoever. Pair it with a bowl of chowder, a seafood stew, or just a generous smear of salted butter and you have something genuinely special. The drizzle of melted butter over the top before baking is a small step that makes a big difference, creating that crackly, rich surface you'll want to show off every time.
