A sourdough-like rustic loaf, but yeasted, and with the addition of beer for colour, taste and flavour. INGREDIENTS 550 gms strong white bread flour 10 gms fine sea salt 340 gms beer (room temperature). Any beer will work, but I'm using stout for this demonstration 7 gms olive oil 7 gms instant active yeast METHOD Add the beer, oil and salt to a large bowl and stir well. Stir in half the flour. Mix and then add the yeast and the remaining flour. Bring together to a sticky mix. Knead for at least 10 minutes until you have a soft and silky dough. Kneading can be completed by hand, with a mixer (start on low speed and then increase to medium), or by using the dough/pizza mixer programme on a bread machine...
