The bubbles from the can of beer in this bread make it a very light bread, and the herbs give it enough flavor so you don’t need salt. Note: the kind of beer you use depends on your preferences for flavor and whether you want to include alcohol. For a light, not-beery flavor, choose light beer. For more beer flavor, choose regular beer. For non-alcoholic recipe, chose non-alcoholic beer.
