Food Wednesday with Kathy

 Greetings!

Before I get into the food, we had to drive to Salem yesterday. OMG!!! A 3 hour drive in some of the worst rain and wind ever. Mr. M. was driving this time but had it been me I would have pulled over a few times. Visibility was horrible. So, today I will be catching up on blog comments. Thank you for all the kindness you leave me here. It is so appreciated.

Today I am  joining 

Kathy with Food Wednesday. 

With all the foody bloggers out there I hope you join in and leave a link.

Today for me is bread. 

This bread is so easy and makes a great loaf. It is No Knead Beer Bread

You will need 1 1/2t active dry yeast, 4 1/2C APF, 1/2C warm water(100°F or 38°C) 1 12oz bottle or can of beer. 1 1/2t salt a little APF for dusting the counter and cornmeal to spread on backing pan.

Stir together 1/2C APF, yeast and water. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes.	Stir in beer.
add APF and salt and mix until you have a sticky dough that pulls away from the bowl.	Place dough in an blow with a bit of oil turn the dough once.
Cover and place in warm place for about 2 hours. Or until dough has doubled in size.	Sprinkle cornmeal onto pan
On a lightly floured surface shape dough. If it is too stick just add a bit of flour. Transfer loaf to backing sheet, cover and let rise 30 minutes. Score the top.	In a preheated 425°F  or 220°C oven place a small loaf pan of water, then the loaf of bread on the middle rack. Bake for about 30 minutes.

 

Hope you try this!

Have a great day.
