Beer Bread
So many Seattle area brewers - Me too.
Thanks for the advice R. I will probably just throw it in the breasd machine and see what happens. I never bake in the machine so I can let is rise and long as needed - even run it twice to develop a good skin.
I'll just let it rise till I am happy them bake it. In the oven it will rise a bit more depending on how elastic the dough ends up.
Like I said there really isn't anything to lose but a dollar or two worth of ingrediants.
BTW - Since a couple of you are from around here you most likely have tried Mac & Jack's. Do either of you have a good clone recipe for that? I got one I am going to try this weekend but would love to compare and contrast different recipes.
Thanks
To be honest, that holiday amber recipe I stole from Brewchz isnt too far off, if you drop the bourbon, oak, and spices, and switch the Hops to Magnum. (and use 2 oz.)
Especially since Mac N Jacks recently upped their hops a touch.

PS: My LHBS does have a clone recipe that is supposedly very good. PM me for the name of the place.
Well, I never could get a bread to rise on beer yeast alone. But here's one that turned out really well. While preparing the dough, one should have a homebrew close at hand.
Recipe:
1-1/2 Cups Bread Flour
1-1/2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
1 -12oz bottle of amber - dark homebrew
1 Tbl spoon Veg. oil
1/4 cup honey
2 pkg dry bread yeast
3 eggs
Put room temp beer w/ all the yeast in a mixing bowl, add honey & mix
Add dry yeast & mix. Wait until the yeast activates & gets foamy
Mix in 2 eggs & oil
Add flours, mix & knead - You may have to add more beer or flour to get the right consistancy. (Break time, get another brew)
Let it rise to double size
Knead, shape into loaves, put in or on an oiled pan
Let rise again, be patient.
Mix 3rd egg with equal amount of beer.
Baste loaves with same.
Bake at 350 for 20 min, remove & baste again.
Bake another 10 min.
Crack another homebrew.
Eat, drink, & be merry
NICE!!!! ![]()
Real nice!
Really Nice!!!
Excellent! That bread looks DELICIOUS!
I'll be trying a sourdough-style loaf with my ale yeast once it gets done making my beer good.

It really was good, all gone now. I made it with the BKB Fall Newcastle. Dinner was bread, home made chicken soup & Newcastle. ![]()
