Tried this the other day, and it's really nice... (doesn't use too much beer either )
If you don't have a breadmaker... er, ask your gran how to mix it all together properly!
3/4 cup (generous) of flat ale (I used Burton Bridge Summer Ale)
1 tbsp veg oil (but sunflower works fine too)
2 tbsp wholegrain mustard
2 3/4 cup strong white bread flour
1 1/4 cup strong wholemeal bread flour
1 tbsp skimmed milk powder
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp dried bread yeast
Put ale, oil and mustard in the breadmaker pan, followed by the flours. Sprinkle over the milk powder, and then put salt and sugar in opposite corners of the pan.
Make a well with your finger in the flour, but not down as far as the liquid below, and put the yeast in it.
Set breadmaker to basic setting, medium crust, and sit back and relax (with a beer)!
Best enjoyed with some cheese, pickle and, of course, some more beer!
Beer and mustard loaf (for breadmaker machines)
I have experimented with TC and have come up with the following recipe.
1 tsp dried yeast
200 gm white bread flour
180 gm granary flour
100gm rye flour
20 gm porridge oats
30 gm sunflower seeds
1tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
2tbs milk powder
30 gm olive oil
a good heaped dessertspoon of Branston pickle
and, last but not least, 350ml TC.
These ingredients should be added according to your type of breadmakers instructions. You can also add a good pinch of caraway and cumin seeds if you like yhe taste of these.
Very good with cheese!

Re: Beer and mustard loaf (for breadmaker machines)
Thank you for this recipe, I've just put another loaf on as it went down very very well last week. A great way to use up old beer / barrell dregs!
Also - You can use leftover yeast slurry from fermentation in place of dried yeast in your bread; I am yet to try it with this recipe however.
Many thanks again to the OP
