Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark rye bread
- 500 milliliters Dark beer (like stout or porter)
- 200 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 50 milliliters Whipping cream (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts or seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Begin by slicing the dark rye bread into small pieces or chunks. The bread should be at least a day or two old for the best texture.
2. In a medium-sized pot, combine the dark beer and water. Heat this liquid mixture over medium heat until warm but not boiling.
3. Add the bread pieces into the pot with the warm liquid. Stir gently to ensure the bread is evenly soaked, then let it sit for 5-10 minutes to soften.
4. Transfer the soaked bread mixture into the pan of your automatic bread maker (ABM).
5. Add the brown sugar, salt, and butter into the bread maker. Set the machine to the ‘Jam’ or ‘Preserves’ setting, which will thoroughly heat and blend the bread mixture.
6. Once the bread machine has finished its cycle (approximately 60 minutes), check the consistency of the Øllebrød. It should be smooth, thick, and porridge-like. If needed, use a hand blender or immersion blender to smoothen it further.
7. Serve the Øllebrød warm in individual bowls. Top with a drizzle of cream and a sprinkle of chopped nuts or seeds for added richness and texture, if desired.
