Beer + Pumpkin + Bread ….. it just works

Here’s a little easy fall bread recipe for you…I recommend making some yummy ham and cheese melts or simple slicing this bread with some yummy gouda and apple slices.

RECIPE

1 Loaf

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 1/2 cups bread flour

1 TBSP baking powder

Pinch of salt

12 oz pumpkin beer

1 egg

1/3 cup roasted pumpkin seeds

Sift together flour, baking powder and salt.  Form a well in the middle of the flour mixture, crack egg in flour well.  Beat egg gradually adding in flour from sides, slowly pour in beer as you mix together flour, egg and beer.

Dough will be very sticky, sprinkle in 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, knead in seeds.

Shape dough into a loaf on either a coated baking stone or non-stick pan. Top loaf with remaining pumpkin seeds.  Bake at 375 for 50 minutes or until you hear a hollow sound when you knock on the bread.
