Bedrock Press ~ Lagniappe Recipe

Pain de Bière

3 c. self-rising flour
2 T. granulated sugar
1 (12 oz.) can lite beer (room temperature)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 T. water

Combine flour, sugar and room temperature beer in a medium mixing bowl. Transfer mixture to a bread pan (preferably non-stick) which has been coated with non-stick spray. Allow dough to sit for 15 minutes to rise. Meanwhile, mix lightly beaten egg with water in a small bowl, set aside, and preheat oven to 375°F. After allowing dough a full 15 minutes to rise, brush top of dough with egg/water mixture and bake in preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until loaf is firm and golden. Remove from oven; turn loaf out of bread pan and cool on a wire rack. Slice with a serrated bread knife to avoid compressing the bread. Yields 8 to 10 servings.
Recipe Notes: (1) This dense, flavorful bread is frequently used in preparing French toast and croutons; also excellent sliced, spread with garlic butter and toasted under the broiler to serve with soup, salad or entrées. (2) The secret to this recipe is allowing a full 15 minutes for the dough to rise before baking...please do not skip this step or you will be disappointed with the results.

Tips for Home-Baked Bread

~ If bread is not to be used within 2 to 3 days, wrap the loaf so that it is airtight and store at room temperature.

~ If bread is to be kept for more than a few days, seal the loaf in a freezer-proof bag and freeze. The bread may be kept frozen for up to 3 months.

~ Thawing frozen bread will take about 2 to 3 hours at room
temperature. Bread sliced prior to freezing may be toasted immediately after removing from freezer.

~ To warm a whole loaf of bread, wrap loaf in foil and heat at 350F for 15 to 30 minutes. Unwrap bread in the last 5 minutes to produce a crisp crust. (If bread has been frozen, thaw thoroughly before warming in oven.)

~ Refrigerating and microwaving bread is not recommended.
