Bock Beer Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Mix dry ingredients and beer.
• Pour into a greased loaf pan.
• Pour melted butter over mixture.
• Bake 1 hour, remove from pan and cool for at least 15 minutes.
• UPDATED NOTES: This recipe makes a very hearty bread with a crunchy, buttery crust. If you prefer a softer crust (like a traditional bread) mix the butter into the batter instead of pouring it over the top.
• Sifting flour for bread recipes is a must-do. Most people just scoop the 1 cup measure in the flour canister and level it off. That compacts the flour and will turn your bread into a "hard biscuit" as some have described. That's because they aren't sifting their flour! If you do not have a sifter, use a spoon to spoon the flour into the 1 cup measure. Try it once the "correct" way and you will see an amazing difference in the end product.
• I have had many email from you kind folks about using non-alcoholic beverages instead of beer. That is fine to do but I highly recommend adding a packet of Dry Active Yeast or 2 teaspoons of Bread (Machine) Yeast so that you get a proper rise.
• The final result should be a thick, hearty and very tasteful bread, NOT A BRICK! ;).
• Thank you all for the incredibly nice comments and those of you who left a bad review - learn to sift sift SIFT! You will be amazed at the results you get.

Steps:

• The night before: Pour beer into mug, cover with paper towel, and let sit out on counter overnight.
• Next day: Dissolve yeast in warm water in mixing bowl. Mix in honey.
• Add both flours & salt, and stir to mix. Stir in oil and slowly add beer. Mix well. Place dough on floured work surface and knead 15 minutes. (Dust with flour if dough is too sticky).
• Place lightly oiled bowl & cover. Let rise to double in size.
• Punch down and let rest 5 minutes.
• Shape dough into four oval shaped loaves. Place loaves on lightly oiled cookie sheet. Score with a knife (I usually make 2 diagonally placed scored a couple of inches apart.
• Preheat oven to 350°F
• Cover loosely with saran wrap and allow to double in size again.
• Bake 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat beer until lukewarm and pour into a warm, non-reactive bowl. Sprinkle yeast over and allow to dissolve. Add sugar, salt, and egg; stir to dissolve. Add butter.
• Mix in half the flour. Add wheat germ, stirring. Add remaining flour, turn onto floured surface, and knead.
• Place dough ball in warm, buttered bowl and cover with cloth; put in a warm, sheltered place. Let rise until double in bulk.
• Butter the baking dish. I prefer a 2.5 quart round casserole because round bread just looks cool, but a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan works fine. Mold the dough into the dish, let it rise again. When dough reaches just over the top of the pan, preheat the oven to 375°F Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on top.
• Let bread cool a few minutes on counter, remove from pan and place on a wire rack to cool fully.
• Slice and slather with butter. Enjoy.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together, mixing in beer last. Batter should be the consistency of Bisquick. Spoon into a well greased bread pan and bake at 350 degrees (f) for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
• Let bread rest in it's pan for about 10 minutes then let it cool on a rack for another 10 or so. If you can wait that long!
