Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a 9x5 loaf pan lightly and line with a piece of parchment paper.
- When the oven has come to temperature, measure the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl and whisk well to combine. Break up any lumps in your brown sugar.
- Add the beer to the bowl and whisk or stir to combine. Mix just enough to combine everything and there is no dry flour left. Don't worry about lumps.
- Turn the batter into your loaf pan and spread out the top so the batter is even from end to end.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out without wet batter on it (moist crumbs are fine.)
- Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then remove to a rack to cool.
- I like to slice the bread while it is still warm, but don't slice it until you are ready to eat.

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.

Steps:
- 1. Grease a 9x5x3 loaf pan. Pre-heat oven to 350.
- 2. Rinse sauerkraut under cold water, and squeeze with your hands to remove as much water as possible. Set aside. Combine flour,brown sugar, baking powder,salt,and caraway seeds ina a large mixing bowl. Scoop out a well in the center and pour in the butter and beer.Stir liquids into the dry ones with a wooden spoon, until dissolved. (I just bought a bamboo mixing spoon,and love it) Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. No toothpick ? use spaghetti. *Now you can drink the other can of beer! tee hee
Tips:
- For a tangier flavor, use a sourer sauerkraut. You can also add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to the batter.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- To prevent the bread from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan before adding the batter.
- Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 45 minutes.
- Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
Sauerkraut beer bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist and flavorful, with a slightly tangy taste. The bread is also very versatile and can be served with a variety of dishes, such as soups, stews, and salads. If you are looking for a new and exciting bread recipe, I highly recommend trying sauerkraut beer bread.
