SOURDOUGH BEER BREAD RECIPE



Sourdough Beer Bread Recipe image

So, thought I, what could be better than to put beer and bread together? And thus was born the experimentation that resulted in this recipe for Sourdough Beer Bread.

Provided by Galen Saturley

Number Of Ingredients 6

400 grams - Bread Flour
100 grams - Whole Wheat Red Fife Flour
345 grams - Any 12oz bottle of Beer. I used a Milk Stout brewed by Left Hand Brewing company
75 grams - Pure Water
80 grams - Sourdough Starter
12 grams - Salt

Steps:

  • Pour 345g of room temperature beer into a bowl and mix thoroughly to release the carbonation.
  • Add 500g flour mixture to the beer and mix until thoroughly incorporated into a shaggy mass. Cover and let sit (autolyse) at room temp (~72F) for 2 to 3 hours.
  • Combine 12 grams of salt, 75 grams of water, and 80g of starter, mix thoroughly and then add to the dough. Fold repeatedly until everything is thoroughly mixed together and dough begins to feel smooth.
  • Cover mixing bowl and let sit for approximately 1 hour. Then fold the dough 8 times (8 single folds).
  • Cover mixing bowl and let sit for approximately 12 hours at room temp (~72F) or until volume of dough doubles (optionally stretch and fold periodically).
  • Turn out fermented dough on a lightly floured work surface and shape into your preferred loaf (boule, batard...) and then place dough into a well floured (rice flour is preferred) proofing basket; cover and let sit at room temperature (~72F) for about 1 hour.
  • After 30 minutes or so, place your preferred baking vessel (I like to use a Breadtopia Clay Baker) in the oven and preheat to 500F (or your vessel's maximum safe temperature).
  • With dough fully risen and oven pre-heated, gently transfer the dough from the proofing basket to the baking vessel, score the top of the loaf, and then bake at 500F with top on for 20 minutes.
  • Turn oven temperature down to 450F and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the top of the baking vessel and bake for ~20 minutes or until color of crust is as desired and internal loaf temperature is at least 200F.
  • Take the loaf out of the oven and place it on a cooling rack and let it cool at least 1 hour before cutting.

I found this online recently, but don't remember where, so the credit for this simple,lovely textured, and delicious bread goes to someone else. It was my husbands first attempt at breadmaking (of any kind) and it turned out so fabulous!It's a simple basic bread that smells and tastes delightful. We served it with a homemade Garlic butter spread. My husband set the opened beer out the night before to go flat.Time is approximate.

Time 5h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 ½ cups beer, room temperature
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups bread flour
2 tablespoons fed sourdough starter
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons all-purpose flour, divided

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup beer in a small bowl. Let stand until bubbly, about 5 minutes. Mix in remaining beer.
  • Mix yeast mixture, 2 cups all-purpose flour, bread flour, sourdough starter, and salt in a large plastic container with a lid with a wooden spoon until well combined. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in volume, 2 to 4 hours, depending on the power of your starter.
  • Dust a cutting board with 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour. Turn the dough out onto the board and knead with floured hands for 30 seconds. Shape into a ball.
  • Line a small bowl with a piece of parchment paper larger than the bowl. Place dough in the bowl and cover with a clean dish towel; let rise until nearly doubled in volume, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) after dough has been rising for 45 minutes. Place a lidded Dutch oven inside after 25 minutes and heat for 20 minutes.
  • Remove hot Dutch oven from the oven using oven mitts. Place dough carefully inside, lifting it up with the parchment paper. Cut any parchment paper that is peeking out of the Dutch oven with kitchen shears. Cut a cross into the top of the bread using a sharp knife and dust with remaining 1 teaspoon flour. Cover with the hot lid.
  • Bake bread in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and continue baking until top is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Lift bread out of the Dutch oven with the parchment paper using oven mitts and tap the bottom; if it sounds hollow, bread is done. Let cool for at least 1 hour on a wire rack.

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 4h10m

Yield 1 Large Loaf

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/3 cup water
1 cup beer
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons sugar
3 cups flour
1 package dry yeast

Steps:

  • Place ingredients in bread machine pan in the order suggested by the manufacturer.
  • Select White Bread setting, and then press Start.

Tips:

  • Make sure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly before using it in this recipe. If your starter is not active, it will not produce enough carbon dioxide to leaven the bread properly.
  • If you do not have a sourdough starter, you can make your own by following a simple online recipe. It usually takes about 5-7 days to create a sourdough starter from scratch.
  • You can use any type of beer in this recipe, but a light beer will produce a lighter bread. A dark beer will produce a darker, richer bread with a more pronounced flavor.
  • If you do not have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will produce a tough, dense bread. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help the bread to rise properly.
  • Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Sourdough beer bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover sourdough starter and beer. This bread is also a good source of fiber and protein. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy bread recipe, give sourdough beer bread a try!
