Rye And Honey Beer Bread Food

RYE BEER BREAD

Steps:

• Combine rye flour, beer, and yeast in a large bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Set out overnight. Do not refrigerate.
• The next day, add sugar, salt, shortening, and egg; beat with mixer until smooth. Stir in caraway seeds, if wanted. Add enough white bread flour to make a soft dough.
• Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, approximately 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, and turn to oil the surface of the dough. Let rise in warm place about 1 hour, or until doubled.
• Punch down dough, and divide in half. Shape into round or oblong loaves, and place on greased baking sheets sprinkled with corn meal. Let rise for 30 minutes.
• Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Cool on racks.

• Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined.
• Scrape the dough into the prepared loaf pan.
• Brush the top with melted butter.

RYE AND MOLASSES BREAD WITH BEER

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in milk. Set aside in a warm place to proof, about five minutes.
• Mix all but one tablespoon of the molasses with orange rind, salt and ground fennel seeds in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then mix with beer in a large bowl. Mix the remaining tablespoon of molasses with a tablespoon of warm water and set aside to use as a glaze.
• Stir in the yeast mixture. Then stir in the oats, bran and rye flour. Add the whole wheat flour, a half-cup at a time, to make a soft, somewhat sticky dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a board liberally spread with the all-purpose flour. Knead until the dough is soft, smooth and fairly elastic, adding more all-purpose flour as necessary. Most of the stickiness should be gone from the dough.
• Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover and set aside to rise until doubled, one-and-a-half to two hours. Punch dough down, knead briefly and divide in half.
• Shape each portion of dough into a narrow, plump oval and press the fennel seeds into the top of each loaf. Place loaves on an oiled baking sheet and set aside to rise until doubled, about one hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush each loaf with some of the glaze prepared in Step 2. Place breads in the middle of the oven and bake until they sound hollow when tapped, about 40 minutes. Brush more glaze on the loaves during baking.
• Cover breads loosely with foil and cool on racks.
