Time 3h55m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
4 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided
½ cup warm water (100 degrees F or 38 degrees C)
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer
1 ½ teaspoons fine salt

1 tablespoon cornmeal

Steps:

  • Stir together yeast, 1/2 cup flour and warm water in a large bowl. Cover and let sit in a warm spot for about 30 minutes.

  • Scrape all the dough from the bowl with a rubber spatula, and place on a well-floured surface. Generously flour the top of the dough and form into a loaf shape.

CHEESY BEER BREAD



Cheesy Beer Bread image

This easy bread recipe uses beer and baking powder to leaven instead of yeast, producing a loaf with a lightly crisp crust and a beautifully soft interior. A strongly flavored cheese, like sharp Cheddar or Gruyère, complements the flavors of the beer. The brown sugar isn't absolutely necessary, but it extends the bread's shelf life, keeping the interior soft even after it's been sliced. This bread is especially lovely served warm, but is also delicious at room temperature.

Time 1h30m

Yield One 9-by-5-inch loaf

Number Of Ingredients 9

Nonstick spray
3 cups/385 grams all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
5 tablespoons/70 grams cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, plus 1/4 cup/55 grams melted unsalted butter, for finishing
1 (12-ounce/355-milliliter) bottle beer (1 1/2 cups), preferably a lager or ale
1 1/4 cups/140 grams shredded firm or semi-firm cheese, such as sharp Cheddar, Gruyère or fontina

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and pepper to combine. Add the cubed butter and use your hands or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour until you have fine crumbs.
  • Add the beer and mix until thoroughly combined. Fold in the shredded cheese. Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread into an even layer.
  • Brush about 1/3 of the melted butter over the surface of the loaf and transfer to the oven. Bake for 20 minutes, brush with more butter, then return to the oven for another 20 minutes. Brush with the remaining butter, and return to the oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, another 20 to 30 minutes. (The internal temperature should read at least 200 degrees on a thermometer.)
  • Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a small offset spatula around the edges and unmold. Cool at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality beer. The flavor of the beer will come through in the bread, so choose one that you enjoy drinking.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the bread tough.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help the yeast to grow and the bread to rise properly.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature. This will give the bread a crispy crust.
  • Let the bread cool slightly before slicing. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Yeasted beer bread is a quick and easy bread to make, and it's perfect for any occasion. It's also a great way to use up leftover beer. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious loaf of bread that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy bread recipe, give yeasted beer bread a try.
