Step Talk

Servings:
2 small loafs
Preparation Time:
3.5 hours
Ingredients

• 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cups leftover beer from hubby's leftover cans/bottles (I save in a container in frig)
• 3 cups bread flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 T salt
• 1 t sugar
• 4 t dry granulated yeast
• 1 T olive oil

Cooking Instructions
Add all ingredients to your bread machine. if you have a french/italian bread setting use it, but pull it just before it hits the bake cycle.

Should have 3 good rises.

Sprinkle a pizza stone or pan with cornmeal

Slice dough into two pieces to make two loaves

Place on pizza stone/pan and cover; let rise 30 minutes

Meanwhile preheat your oven to 450 F

Nuke about 2 cups of water to almost boiling in a pyrex measuring cup

Pour nuked water into a small shallow pan and place in bottom of your oven (watch out for steam)

Make a few side slashes on the top of loaves and if desired coat with an egg wash (optional) Bake loaves on pizza stone/pan. check after 35 minutes; internal temp of loaves should reach 199 to 200 degrees F before pulling and cooling on rack

Notes
(This also makes a good pizza dough; use pizza dough/dough setting on your bread machine)
