Honey Wheat Beer Bread

for 13in Pullman Pan

1 lb Whole Wheat Flour

9 oz Bread Flour

2 1/2 tsp Bread Machine Yeast

2 oz Warm Water

1 tsp Salt

12 oz Beer (warm)

2oz Vegetable Oil

2oz Honey

Mix Beer and Wheat Flour until smooth. Cover and let sit 30 min. This soaking method is called "autolyse" and will soften the grains of the whole wheat, which gives the bread a softer texture.

Make a dent in the top of the beer/wheat mix and pour in the water and yeast. When the yeast is moist after a couple of minutes, add all remaining ingredients. Mix for 10 minutes (Kitchen Aid mixer speed 2).

Spray your mixer bowl with cooking spray, Form the dough into a ball and place back into the mixing bowl. cover the bowl and let rise until doubled. This will take about 1 hour if you put it in an oven that is turned off, but has the light on.

Spray cooking spray on all interior surfaces of the Pullman Pan. Don't forget the lid.

Form the dough into a long tube that will fill up all of the bottom of the pan. Place in the pan, and using a silicone spatula, press the dough into the corners. Press the top to get a relatively smooth surface. Lastly, push down the middle 1/3 of the dough a little to counteract the tendency for the dough to rise higher in the middle. Spray the top of the dough with cooking spray, then slide the lid on the pan, but leave about 1 inch open so you can see the rise progress. Let rise again

After about 30 minutes of rising, take the pan out of the oven and preheat it to 375F. Start watching the rise of the dough about every 10 minutes. The rest of this procedure is all about timing. When the dough is about 1/2 inch away from the top, slide the lid closed and begin baking. This bread should take about 45 minutes to bake. When finished, check the internal temperature with a probe thermometer. It should read at least 185F. If it isnt hot enough, bake a few more minutes and check again.

Cool 2 hours on a cooling rack before slicing unless the entire loaf will be eaten warm.

Yields 16 slices.
