Grilling Sourdough Bread

 

1 cup sourdough starter unfed          

3½ cups all-purpose flour

3 tbsp. sugar

3 tsp. baking powder

½ tsp. salt

½ tsp. pepper

1 bottle Moosehead Lager beer                                   

2 tbsp. melted butter 

Light your charcoal on grill

Grease or spray inside edges if cast iron bread pan.

In large bowl combine dry ingredients and whisk to combine.  In large measuring cup, combine sourdough starter and beer, then pour into flour mixture.  Stir until moistened.  Spoon or scrape into cast iron bread pan.  Pour melted butter over the top. 

Cook uncovered on back rack of grill for about an hour (depending on how many time your husband opens the grill to check the meat he’s cooking) this will determine how long it takes for the bread to cook. 

He likes to have a pan of water on the grill to keep things moist.  I love this bread.  It’s crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside.  I’ve been eating it for breakfast with fig preserves.  I even tried making bruschetta with it and it was outstanding.  A definite keeper.

This weekend Tall Cool ☺ne is smoking some baby back ribs, so I’m planning to do a smoked version of the sourdough.  Stay tuned for more recipes.

Enjoy♥

PS. be very very careful removing that cast iron from the grill.  I boo boo'd big time and I will have a scar for life.

Unleavened Bread - Feeding the Flock 23

 

If you have been following a long,  you know I have been trying to come up with recipes for the sourdough starter that my friend gave me at Christmas time.  All of the recipes I could find have all included YEAST in the recipe.  Of course I've been working mine in the bread machine (because it's faster and easier). Any hoot, I did not use any yeast in these two loaves. 

SUNFLOWER SEED BREAD                                        BASIC UNLEAVENED

½ cup beer sourdough starter                                              ½ cup sourdough starter 

½ cup buttermilk                                                                 ½ cup buttermilk   

2 tbsp. grapeseed oil                                                            2 tbsp. melted butter

¼ cup brown sugar                                                              1½ tsp honey

2 cups all-purpose flour                                                       3 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour                                                      1½ tsp. salt

2 tbsp. slivered almonds

¼ cup raw sunflower seeds

1½ tsp. salt

Place ingredients in bread machine in order listed. (Note there are two different loaves of bread there).  Set for the dough cycle.  Once cycle stops, remove from bread machine, create loaf and let rise 45-60 minutes.  (It will not rise much...it's unleavened).  Bake in 375º oven for 30-35 minutes.  This is a very dense bread.  I thought it was going out to the offering corner (where the wild animals feed), but I tried it as toast, and it makes really good toast.   Not one of my best recipes, but I couldn't find the Unicorn Kibbles that I wanted to make.

Enjoy,

Naughty Sourdough Bread - Feeding the Flock 23

The reason I called it naughty is because I fed it and it bubbled all over the counter and made a wicked mess.  Sometimes sourdough will do that.  In my theme reveal I said I was going to incorporate sourdough into my recipes.  I'm not coming up with as many as I hoped but it's fun when I create something new. This bread is so tasty and moist, I will definitely make it again.

2 tbsp. grapeseed oil

¼ cup agave nectar

¾ cup buttermilk (microwave about 20 seconds to about 70º)

8 oz. sourdough starter

3 tbsp. Nocino (I'm thinking any kind of liqueur would work)

4 cups bread flour

2 tsp. salt

2¼ tsp. yeast

Place all ingredients in the bread machine in the order given. Select the dough cycle and let process.  Remove from bread machine and divide dough into two loaves.  Place on baking pan, lined with parchment paper.  Let rise for 45 minutes to an hour.  Preheat oven to 355º.  Before backing slit tops of bread with sharp paring knife.  Bake 25 minutes.  Remove from oven, pat with butter if desired, cover with towel and let cool. Makes 2 loaves

Enjoy,
