Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pkg yeast or 1 1/2 tablespoons
1/4 c warm water, 115 degrees approx
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp honey
3/4 c beer
1 1/4 c rye flour
2 1/4 c ap or bread flour
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp caraway seeds, optional

Steps:

  • 1. In large mixing bowl, add yeast and warm water, stir and allow to foam, 10 minutes. While yeast is working, in a small saucepan, add butter, honey, beer and heat until butter is melted. Remove from heat, allow to cool to 105-120 degrees, then add to yeast mixture.
  • 2. Add rye flour, AP flour, salt, garlic and caraway seeds, if desired. Mix well and knead with dough hook 4-5 minutes, adding 1/4 c flour as needed to make a soft but firm dough. It will completely pull away from the sides of the bowl forming a ball.
  • 3. Form dough into a round disk shape and place into a greased 8" round pan. Or as I did, you can place into a greased loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap then a towel and allow to rise in warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 and bake 30 minutes, or when thermometer reads 165-175. Brush top with melted butter if desired. Cool on racks 10 minutes then remove from pan to racks
  • 4. ***This bread only rises once in the pans. ***I made a double batch as to use up the full bottle of beer. (hence the 2 loaves in the photo) ***I used an amber beer, but any beer should work
