Simple whole wheat beer bread recipe. Great for making when you need bread in a pinch, or if you want to package the dry ingredients as a gift. Ingredients:
2 cups sifted whole wheat flour |
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons dried dill (or other herb of your choice) |
14 ounces beer (or 12 ounces beer and 2 ounces water) |
Directions:
1. Grease an eight inch loaf pan. Heat the oven to 375.
2. Combine and mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add the beer (and water if using) to the dry ingredients. Mix until just incorporated. Do not over mix.
3. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick (or wooden skewer) inserted into the middle comes out clean.
4. On a rack, cool the loaf in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and cool for 10 more minutes. Serve.
5. Optional steps: Brush the unbaked loaf with egg glaze (1 egg, 2 tsp water beaten together) and bake as normal. Or, after baked, brush top of loaf with 1 tsp butter.
