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 double duty here — it adds a subtle malty depth to the flavor while also acting as the leavening liquid that gives the loaf its rustic, hearty rise. All-purpose flour is the only flour in play, so there is no rice flour, rice starch, or any grain-based filler to worry about — just clean, straightforward ingredients from start to finish. A drizzle of melted butter over the top before baking creates that gorgeous, deep golden crust that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible. The crumb is dense and tender in the best way, perfect for tearing apart alongside a bowl of soup or toasting up the next morning with a generous smear of butter. It is the kind of no-fuss recipe that looks and tastes far more impressive than the effort involved, and it is naturally free of the sneaky rice-derived additives that can show up in packaged breads.
