Bock Beer Bread Recipes

SALTGRASS STEAKHOUSE SHINER BOCK BEER BREAD

Steps:

• Dissolve in a large mixing bowl yeast with warm water, add honey and stir. Mix in wheat flour, salt, and all-purpose flour in a bowl. Stir in oil and slowly add flat beer. Mix all the ingredients together.
• Place dough on a floured service and kneed for at least 10 - 15 minutes. The dough may need a little more flour added to it if while kneading its sticking to your hands.
• The finished dough will feel smooth and spongy and will not stick to your hands. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic until it doubles in size. Do not place dough in a draft or an overheated area. The dough should be let to rise at room temperature. When the dough has doubled, punch in the middle and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Divide into four equal parts and shape into round loaves. Place loaves on a lightly oiled cookie sheet. Score twice on top of each loaf with a knife two inches apart and about 2 1/2 inches long. Cover loosely with plastic wrap until the loaves have doubled in size. Place in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.

BOCK BEER BREAD

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.
