So those of you who are frequent visitors to my apartment know that I have accumulated a motley assortment of different kinds of alcohol left behind by house guests and especially beer which I rarely drink. This recipe is the perfect use for the leftover beer, plus it is super easy and looks really impressive. I did it the first time just as the recipe said and used a Guinness, this yeilded a loaf of heavy dark bread. The second time I went nuts and modified the recipe left and right. The original author says not to use light beer but I actually thought it tasted better with the bud light from last Mardi Gras...
Here is the original link.
When I made it the second time I used Bud Light
I also sauteed up a batch of cabbage and sweet potato in the skillet and added a cup of that.
Finally I added
4tbsp of buttermilk powder (equivalent to 1cup of buttermilk but without making the dough too wattery)&
2tsp of honey
I cooked the whole thing in a cast iron skillet instead of in a loaf pan and it cooked up in about 30 min instead of the whole hour. I think this version was much yummier. The buttermilk powder makes it taste sort of like sour dough but without all the yeast and work of sour dough.
