The ingredients for Lager and Rye Bread are:

12.3 oz (350 g / a generous 3 ? cups) dark rye flour
7 oz (200 g or 1 ? cups) whole wheat bread flour
1 tsp salt
? tbsp instant yeast
? cup fancy molasses
2 tbsp barley malt syrup or honey
⅓ cup lager beer (I used Birra Moretti)
⅓ cup warm water

---Paste---
⅔ cup lager beer
3.5 oz (100 g or 1 cup + 2 tbsp) dark rye flour
1 tsp raw sugar
handful rye flakes or large-flake oats

Here is how you make Lager and Rye Bread:

In the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, combine the flours, salt and yeast.Mix the molasses, barley malt syrup and lager in a measuring cup and add to the flour mixture.Using the paddle (or a wooden spoon), mix the ingredients together, adding water as required until the dough is clearing the sides of the bowl but is still soft.Knead with the dough hook or by hand on a lightly floured surface for 10 minutes. The dough will seem too wet at first, but will smooth out as you go.Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a tea towel or plastic wrap and leave for 2-3 hours, until doubled. ---Topping and Assembly:Mix the beer, flour and sugar to form a thick batter.Punch down the dough, knead briefly and shape into a boule.Place onto a sheet of parchment and spread all over with the paste.Sprinkle with rye flakes or oats. Place in a cold oven (leave the light on) and let rise 1 ? - 2 hours.Near the end of the rising time, remove bread from the oven and turn the oven to 425F, using convection if available.Place the loaves in the oven and bake for 25 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 400F (375F convection if using it) and bake for a further 5-10 minutes.The loaf will be a rich brown and should sound hollow when tapped on the base.Cool completely on a rack.Serving Size: Makes 1 boule, 16 slicesNumber of Servings: 16Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JO_JO_BA.
