Tap the keg and pull out the mixing bowl—it’s baking time!
Lager your loaves, beer your brioche, pale ale your pretzels, dunkel your dough…just pour a pint to bake something extra special. The brew will add a unique depth of flavor to baked goods from bread to biscuits. Here are 75 fun recipes that use a variety of beers—golden ales to Belgian blondes, chocolate porters to juicy IPAs—and take baking to the next luscious level:
- Cream Ale Irish Soda Bread
- Honey Whole Wheat Blonde Bread
- Cheese and Herb
- Pale Ale Bread
Each recipe includes multiple suggestions for beers, with information on how different types will taste once baked. It’s also not all about the yeast; in addition to loaves and rolls that need to rise, there are easy quick breads, muffins, biscuits, and scones. Featuring beautiful photography, Beer Bread is the must-have book for anyone who “kneads” beer to live.
