BEER RYE BREAD (QUICK AND EASY)

Steps:

• 1. In large mixing bowl, add yeast and warm water, stir and allow to foam, 10 minutes. While yeast is working, in a small saucepan, add butter, honey, beer and heat until butter is melted. Remove from heat, allow to cool to 105-120 degrees, then add to yeast mixture.
• 2. Add rye flour, AP flour, salt, garlic and caraway seeds, if desired. Mix well and knead with dough hook 4-5 minutes, adding 1/4 c flour as needed to make a soft but firm dough. It will completely pull away from the sides of the bowl forming a ball.
• 3. Form dough into a round disk shape and place into a greased 8" round pan. Or as I did, you can place into a greased loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap then a towel and allow to rise in warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 and bake 30 minutes, or when thermometer reads 165-175. Brush top with melted butter if desired. Cool on racks 10 minutes then remove from pan to racks
• 4. ***This bread only rises once in the pans. ***I made a double batch as to use up the full bottle of beer. (hence the 2 loaves in the photo) ***I used an amber beer, but any beer should work

YEASTED BEER BREAD

Steps:

• The evening before you want to bake your bread, mix rye flour, salt, beer, 2 cups plus 3 Tbsp. (270 g) bread flour, and ½ cup cold water (65°F-70°F) in the bowl of a stand mixer until a wet, sticky dough forms. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest 20 minutes. (Resting here allows the flour to hydrate and promotes elasticity and gluten development in the dough.)
• Fit bowl with dough on stand mixer fitted with dough hook. Add molasses and yeast and mix on low speed to combine, 1-2 minutes. Increase speed to medium and mix 2 minutes to develop the dough. (Alternatively, you can mix by hand in a medium bowl with a sturdy rubber spatula or dough whisk.) If dough seems dry, add 1-2 Tbsps water.
• Transfer dough to a clean medium bowl and cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let sit at room temperature overnight (12 hours).
• The following day, transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Gently flatten into a rough square, then bring all 4 corners to the center and pinch together with your fingers. Turn dough over and, using a bench scraper or your hand, push edges of dough under loaf toward the center while rotating to create tension across the top to shape into a ball. Using your hands and dusting with flour as needed, gently rotate ball against surface to tighten further and seal bottom. Generously flour proofing basket with rice or bread flour and invert dough into basket so seam side is up. Cover with a kitchen towel and let sit until dough no longer springs back when poked with your finger, 2-3 hours.
• About 30 minutes before baking bread, place a rack in middle of oven and set Dutch oven with lid on it. Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Cut a round of parchment paper a few inches wider in diameter than the ball of dough. Invert proofing basket onto parchment to release dough (dust off excess flour if desired). Using a lame or a sharp paring knife, cut a crosshatch pattern about ½" deep on surface of dough. These cuts will serve as steam-release vents when the bread expands in the oven.
• Using oven mitts, place preheated (very hot!) Dutch oven on a heat-resistant surface and remove lid. Using parchment paper as handles, carefully place dough inside Dutch oven. Cover and bake 30 minutes. (Covering helps retain enough steam inside the pot to allow the surface of the bread to remain supple and expand.)
• Remove lid and continue to bake bread until crust is a dark mahogany brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into center registers 200°F, 15-20 minutes (removing the lid allows the bread's exterior to caramelize and bake into a chewy crust). Using oven mitts, carefully remove pot from oven. Gently invert bread onto a wire rack and let cool before slicing.

QUICK AND EASY BEER BREAD

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients.
• Add beer all at once (it foams a lot).
• Stir until just mixed.
• Put in a greased loaf pan. (Optional: Sprinkle bottom of pan with seeds of choice after greasing; then place dough in pan and sprinkle once again).
• Bake at 190oC (375oF) for 35-40 minutes.

QUICK RYE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place a baking sheet on center rack. Butter four 6-by-3-by-2-inch loaf pans, line with parchment, and butter parchment.
• Mix flours, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and seeds. Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry cutter or rub in with your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Whisk together yogurt, milk, honey, and eggs. Make a well in center of flour mixture, and pour in yogurt mixture. Stir well to combine (batter will be sticky). Spoon batter into pans, smoothing the tops. Scatter mixed seeds on top of batter.
• Transfer pans to baking sheet, and bake until loaves are slightly cracked and golden brown, about 1 hour. (A skewer inserted into centers should come out clean.) Let cool in pans for 15 minutes. Turn out onto wire racks, and let stand for 2 hours.
