Beer bread in a cast iron pot

200 g white flour

230 g dark wheat flour

1 tbsp salt

1 tbsp malt extract

in powder or liquid form

100 ml beer

250 ml water

5 g yeast

fresh

Mix all the ingredients together to form a thick dough. This takes about 2 minutes as the dough is more moist than traditional bread dough.

Cover the bowl with cling film and weigh down with a plate. Allow to proof overnight at about 18 °C.

The next day take the dough out of the bowl. Using a little flour, flatten and fold the dough several times. Leave to rest under a dry, floured tea towel for 15 minutes.

Shape the dough into a ball, wrap the dough loosely in a tea towel and allow to proof for another 2 hours.

Place the empty cast iron pot on the wire shelf in the cold cooking space and preheat the pot and the appliance.
