Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Spent grains (drained)
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 12 ounces Beer (room temperature)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, spent grains, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir until evenly mixed.
Slowly pour in the beer while stirring the mixture. The dough will be sticky and thick, so ensure all the dry ingredients are well incorporated.
Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the dough. This helps create a golden and flavorful crust.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
