Cheesey beer bread

Post by tubby_shaw » Sat Feb 17, 2007 10:54 pm

This could be embarrasing 'cos I am going to post this almost live 8-[
So if I end up with cheesey beer bricks you'll all get a laugh :lol:

Ingredients for two loaves
300ml of very yeasty wheat beer from the bottom of my FV
4 Table spoons cane sugar

This is what I got after adding the sugar to the beer :)
Image

750g strong white bread flour
250g mature cheddar cheese, grated
75g skimmed milk powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp Mustard powder
2 eggs, beaten

Method,
Mix the flour, milk powder, salt and mustard in a large mixing bowl.
Image
Make a well in the middle and add the eggs, slowly add the yeasty beer and mix well until you have a soft dough.
Turn the dough out onto a well floured surface and knead well for 10 minutes.
Place into a clean bowl and cover with a clean cloth and leave some where warm until doubled in size.(Approx 1 hour)
Here's the dough ready to go somewhere warm.

I am due to check on it in 1/2 hour.
Wish me luck [-o<

Not in normal bread, but some types do have eggs. They make the bread richer (probably a good thing in a cheesy bread).

In large proportions, bread with eggs in tends to go dry more quickly though.

No idea :? Maybe its savoury cheesey beer cake :?:

After one hour of proving we have this
Image
I am not sure that it has doubled :(
But anyway on with the show :)
After another 5 minutes of kneading the dough was divided into two for the loaves
Image

Another 45 minutes wait for it to rise again and then into the oven :roll:
Still, it gives me time to enjoy some more of these Image

Fantastic! Do you get much of a beer flavour with this? I take it you skim your yeast head so that the yeast cake in the fermenter is free from trub?

That was typed to read this keyboard isn't working very well, in fact it's getting worse.
But never mind £4.97 at Tesco and new keyboard installed and working :D

Yes I do skim the head :)
No this wasn't particularly beery, I used wheat beer which isn't overly hoppy. Using the yeast beer left in the bottom of the FV from a pale ale or bitter would be good, it's beautifully cheesey though :D
