No Beer Beer Bread Recipes

NO KNEAD BEER BREAD

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.
• Stir beer, remaining flour and salt into the bowl. Mix until all the flour is incorporated and forms a thick sticky dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm spot for 2 hours, until doubled in size.
• 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.
• Sprinkle a baking sheet with cornmeal. Transfer loaf to the baking sheet and sprinkle the top with flour. Cover loosely with a towel and let rise for 30-40 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place a small loaf pan of warm water on a lower rack to humidify the oven.
• Slash a long slit in the top of the loaf with a sharp knife or razor. Place the baking sheet on the rack above the pan of warm water in the oven. Bake for 35 minutes, until the loaf is golden brown.
• Transfer to a cooling rack. Let cool completely before slicing and serving.

NO KNEAD BEER BREAD

Steps:

• Put your choice of 12-oz. beer on the counter to start warming up (assuming it was in the refrigerator). When you are ready to make bread, place the beer bottle or can in a measuring cup of hot water to warm it to a yeast-friendly temperature.
• While your beer is warming, stir together flours, yeast, and salt. Pour in your warm beer and 1/4 cup of warm water. Stir together until all flour is incorporated and you've made a lumpy, bumpy ball of dough.
• Cover the bowl with a towel and let rise in a warm spot for two hours, or until about doubled in size.
• After rising, turn your dough out onto a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Sprinkle enough flour (about 1 tbsp.) over the top of the dough to lightly coat the surface. Shape the dough into a loaf shape. Cover with a towel again and let rise 30-60 minutes more (I usually go for longer). Before this resting period is over, place a pie dish filled with water on the bottom rack of your oven and preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• After resting, cut a slash in the top of the loaf with a very sharp knife or razor blade. Bake your loaf in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Place on wire rack to cool completely before cutting.
