SOURDOUGH BEER BREAD RECIPE
So, thought I, what could be better than to put beer and bread together? And thus was born the experimentation that resulted in this recipe for Sourdough Beer Bread.

Steps:
- Pour 345g of room temperature beer into a bowl and mix thoroughly to release the carbonation.
- Add 500g flour mixture to the beer and mix until thoroughly incorporated into a shaggy mass. Cover and let sit (autolyse) at room temp (~72F) for 2 to 3 hours.
- Combine 12 grams of salt, 75 grams of water, and 80g of starter, mix thoroughly and then add to the dough. Fold repeatedly until everything is thoroughly mixed together and dough begins to feel smooth.
- Cover mixing bowl and let sit for approximately 1 hour. Then fold the dough 8 times (8 single folds).
- Cover mixing bowl and let sit for approximately 12 hours at room temp (~72F) or until volume of dough doubles (optionally stretch and fold periodically).
- Turn out fermented dough on a lightly floured work surface and shape into your preferred loaf (boule, batard...) and then place dough into a well floured (rice flour is preferred) proofing basket; cover and let sit at room temperature (~72F) for about 1 hour.
- After 30 minutes or so, place your preferred baking vessel (I like to use a Breadtopia Clay Baker) in the oven and preheat to 500F (or your vessel's maximum safe temperature).
- With dough fully risen and oven pre-heated, gently transfer the dough from the proofing basket to the baking vessel, score the top of the loaf, and then bake at 500F with top on for 20 minutes.
- Turn oven temperature down to 450F and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove the top of the baking vessel and bake for ~20 minutes or until color of crust is as desired and internal loaf temperature is at least 200F.
- Take the loaf out of the oven and place it on a cooling rack and let it cool at least 1 hour before cutting.
