Basil Beer Bread


This rustic bread, flecked with fragrant basil, is great toasted and served with olive oil for dipping. Or pair it with a bowl of minestrone or stew.

SERVES: 6
PREP TIME: 10 Minutes
COOK TIME: 55 Minutes

Ingredients

Olive oil for the baking sheet
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the work surface
1 1/4-ounce package active dry yeast
Kosher salt and pepper
3/4 cup (3 ounces) grated Parmesan
1 12-ounce bottle beer, preferably ale
1 cup chopped or torn fresh basil

Directions

	Step 1: Heat oven to 400� F. Oil a baking sheet.

	Step 2: In the bowl of a mixer on low speed, or in a large bowl using a spoon, combine the flour, yeast, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and Parmesan. Add the beer and mix just until the dough comes together.

	Step 3: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle with the basil and knead gently just until incorporated. Shape the dough into a round loaf and transfer to the prepared sheet.

	Step 4: Bake until the loaf is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.

	Step 5: Turn the loaf onto a wire rack. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Note If you'd like to purchase beer for this recipe, visit the brew house in our wine and spirits store..
