Prep Time: 15 minutes | Yield: 12

Ingredients

  • 3 cups whole wheat flour or whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 2 Tbsp fresh rosemarry, chopped
  • 3/4 cup feta, cumbled 
  • 12 ounces beer
  • Up to 1/4 cup of water (if the dough is too dry)

    • Directions

    1. To make these beer biscuits with rosemary and feta, reheat oven to 375°F.
    2. Mix the dry ingredients well, add your spices and cheese (optional), then pour in the American lager and mix it all together.
    3. If the dough seems very dry, slowly add up to 1/4 cup of water, until all of the flour is incorporated. Try not to over mix.
    4. Pour the dough into a lightly greased loaf pan or divide it into a muffin tin. Bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes for bread or 25 minutes for biscuits.
    5. The recipe makes one loaf of bread or 12 good-sized biscuits. I’m partial to biscuits because there’s more surface area for crust.
    6. Variations: Use different types of beer. You can also add spices, cheese and/or nuts to change the flavor and texture of the beer bread.

    Cinnamon-Dusted Pork Tenderloin with Chocolate Stout Mole

    August 26, 2013

    Recipe author Brandon Hernández says the dried fruit, caramel, nutmeg and subtler chocolate notes of abbey dubbels, specifically The Lost Abbey’s Lost and Found Ale, pair exceptionally well with this dish. Another obvious pairing would be the chocolate stout you use to create the mole, which would emphasize the chocolate flavors even more.

    Brewer’s Flatbread Pizza with Bacon & Sour Cream Topping

    May 20, 2013

    Depending on which toppings you use, pairing this pizza with different beers will make all the flavors shine. The sweetness of the honey and tomatoes would work nicely with everything from a crisp pilsner all the way to a hoppy IPA. If you go with the bacon topping, you could pair a hoppy red or go with an IPA to cut through the fattiness of the bacon and sour cream.

    Six-Pack Cinnamon Rolls

    February 28, 2020

    These cinnamon rolls are baked in half-pint, wide-mouth mason jars, creating a convenient grab-and-go breakfast or a fun way to add some character to a beer-tasting brunch. Several beer styles will work well to create a tender, sweet dough. The basic lager is a solid choice, but don’t be afraid to branch out to a brown ale or spiced beer. You’ll need a little patience with these rolls in two ways. First, the dough rests and rises in the refrigerator for 20 to 24 hours. Second, it is a sticky dough, so use generously floured hands and surface to work with it. It’s worth it in the end, I promise!
