Recipe #68 - Whole Wheat Dark Beer Bread

Inspired by a trip to Jackson Hole, where we saw Ace DuMond's baking skills firsthand, Sheri' tried out a bread recipe using some dark porter beer we had sitting on the shelf in the garage.

1.5 cups unbleached white flour

1.5 cups whole wheat flour

4 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

1 egg, beaten

1/3 cup brown sugar

1 12 oz. bottle or can of dark beer, such as porter or stout

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. Add the egg and beer, and stir until well combined. Put the dough into the loaf pan. Bake for about 45 minutes, checking often after the 30 minute mark by putting a butter knife or toothpick into the center of the loaf. When it comes out with no dough residue, remove the bread from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
