Ingredients:
olive oil for the baking sheet |
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 1/4-ounce package active dry yeast |
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt |
1/2 teaspoon black pepper |
3/4 cup (3 ounces) grated parmesan |
1 12-ounce bottle beer, preferably ale |
flour for the work surface |
1 cup chopped or torn fresh basil |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 400° F. Oil a baking sheet. In the bowl of a standing mixer on low, or in a large bowl using a spoon, combine the flour, yeast, salt, pepper, and Parmesan. Add the beer and mix just until the dough comes together. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle with the basil and knead gently just until incorporated. Shape the dough into a round loaf and transfer to the prepared sheet. Bake until the loaf is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Turn the loaf onto a wire rack. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.Tip: This dense, hearty bread is best when it's thickly sliced and served with a plate of fresh tomatoes or a bowl of summer minestrone. You can also toast it and drizzle it with olive oil. |
