Step by Step Method
Step 1
Mix 1 cup water, beer and molasses together in a small sauce pan. Heat the mixture to lukewarm.
Step 2
Sprinkle the yeast over the 1/4 cup warm water and allow to stand 2 minutes. Stir to dissolve. Add the salt and stir this into the beer mixture. Pour the mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer.
Step 3
Stir in the ry flour using the paddle attachment. Add 1 cup of the wheat flour and stir to form a smooth batter.
Step 4
Switch to a dough hook attachment and add addition wheat flour until a smooth dough forms. Knead 5 minutes.
Step 5
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead by hand 2 minutes. Place in a greased bowl and turn so top of dough is greased. Cover and let stand in a draft-free, warm area for 2 hours.
