I made another batch of beer bread today, using a leftover bottle of Sam Adams Double Bock. It was basically undrinkable, but it makes for tasty bread.
The bread is the simplest I’ve ever seen: mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt, pour in a bottle of beer, mix until combined, knead just enough to get a ball formed, turn it out onto a baking sheet, brush with egg, and bake. And it’s good (got rave reviews last time). The sickly-sweet double bock makes for a great bread, not too sweet, but goes very well with honey.
Have you tried an IPA in bread yet? It would be nice to know if they were good for something…
We usually fob IPAs off on unsuspecting guests. But I can imagine the bread tasting something like sourdough.
