Basil Beer Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Stir flour and white sugar together in a large mixing bowl. Pour in beer and stir. Add strawberries and basil and stir until well combined; batter will be stiff and sticky. Scoop batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the top generously with coarse sugar.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Lightly oil a baking sheet with olive oil.
• In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, salt, pepper, and parmesan.
• Add beer add mix until dough just barely comes together.
• Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface.
• Sprinkle with basil and knead gently until well incorporated.
• Shape dough into a round loaf and place on baking sheet.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
• Cool loaf on wire rack.
• Wait at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• In bread machine pan, place all ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select basic bread setting. Choose crust color and loaf size if available., Bake according to bread machine directions (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).

Steps:

• If using a bread machine, simply add all the ingredients in the order given. Make sure that the salt and yeast do not touch, and that the yeast does not touch the liquid, especially if you have a bread machine that preheats the ingredients.
• If making by hand:.
• Pour beer into a cup and sprinkle the yeast on top. Let sit for about 5 minutes or until yeast starts bubbling and foaming.
• Mix all dry ingredients. Slowly add in beer and yeast mixture. Combine all ingredients.
• Kneed dough on a cutting board or countertop for approximatley 8-10 minutes. Use flour on the counter top and your hands to ensure it doesn't stick. The dough is ready when it's elastic and you can see little bubbles in it.
• Place dough in a bowl (spray first with non-stick spray) and cover with a dish towel. Place somewhere warm (I use the oven preheated to about 200F and then cooled off). Let rise for about 30-40 minutes, or until doubled in size.
• Roll out dough using a rolling pin. Top with whatever you like!
• Bake in 475F preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. If using a pizza stone, make sure you preheat the stone in the oven.
• When the crust is brown and the cheese is browning, remove from the oven and let pizza stand for a few minutes. This will allow the cheese to solidify and make it easier to cut.
