How To Make Easy 5-Ingredient Beer Bread

unsalted butter,

room temperature beer (1 1/2 cups),

honey

all-purpose flour

baking powder

salt

Heat the oven and prepare a loaf pan. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter, then line with a parchment paper sling that hangs off the 2 longer sides.

Melt the butter. Cut 6 tablespoons unsalted butter into 6 pieces. Place in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 10-second bursts until completely melted, 50 to 60 seconds total. (Alternatively, melt the butter on the stovetop and transfer to a large bowl.)

Combine the wet ingredients. Add 12 ounces beer and 1/4 cup honey and whisk to combine.

Add dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and stir with a spatula just until no dry spots remain. Do not overmix, a few lumps are fine.

Transfer batter to the prepared pan. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

Bake the bread. Bake until browned and the center of the loaf springs back when gently pressed, 45 to 55 minutes.

Cool the bread. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove the bread from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.

unsalted butter (1/2 stick)

bratwursts

dark brown sugar

Kosher salt

(12 ounces) brown ale,

A sesame-scented dough is slathered with kimchi compound butter to create the ultimate savory breakfast roll.  

Cheesy Kimchi Rolls

all-purpose flour,

sugar

(1/4-ounce) packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)

water

sesame oil

eggs

Cooking spray

cabbage kimchi (from

garlic

extra-sharp cheddar cheese,

white sesame seeds

Place 8 tablespoons of the unsalted butter in a medium bowl and let sit at room temperature to soften while you make the dough. 

Instructions

Place 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 packet active dry yeast, and 2 teaspoons kosher salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment and whisk to combine. (Alternatively, place in a large bowl if kneading by hand.)

Place 1 cup warm water (about 125ºF),1/4 cup toasted sesame oil, and 2 large eggs in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Turn the mixer speed on to low and slowly pour in the egg mixture. Once all the egg mixture is incorporated, Increase the speed to medium-low and knead until the dough is smooth, soft, and forms a ball, 7 to 8 minutes. After 5 minutes, if the dough is sticking to the edges of the bowl, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time. (If mixing by hand, stir until a shaggy dough forms, then knead on a work surface until a finger pressed into the dough springs back, about 7 minutes.)

Gently remove the dough from the bowl and coat the bowl in cooking spray. Return the dough to the bowl. Tightly cover the bowl in plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place until nearly doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours. Meanwhile, make the filling when the butter in the bowl is softened.

Make the dough: 

Prepare the following: Drain 2 cups cabbage kimchi in a fine-mesh strainer, pressing out any excess liquid with a rubber spatula. Place the kimchi in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped, about 10 pulses. (Alternatively, chop the kimchi by hand.) Return the kimchi to the strainer and press out any excess liquid.

Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the kimchi and cook until some liquid has evaporated, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer back to the strainer to drain and cool.

Mince 4 garlic cloves and add to the bowl with butter. Thinly slice 3 medium scallions. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the greens for garnish, then add the remaining scallions to the bowl with butter. Add the cooled kimchi, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and stir to combine.

Grate 6 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese on the large holes of a box grater (about 1 1/2 cups). Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. 

Make the filling: 

When the dough is ready, punch it down and transfer onto a lightly floured work surface. Flour a rolling pin and roll the dough into a 24x10-inch rectangle (about 1/3-inch thick), with a longer side closer to you.

Evenly spread the kimchi filling onto the surface of the dough, then sprinkle with the cheese. Starting at the bottom, roll the dough up tightly into a log, using a bench scraper as needed to help release the dough from the work surface. Pinch the seam together at the top.

Position the log seam-side down. Trim 1 inch off each end of the log and discard. Cut the log crosswise into 15 pieces. Arrange the rolls cut-side up in the baking dish, 5 across and 3 down.

Loosely cover in plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature for 25 minutes. Meanwhile, arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in the microwave or in a small saucepan.

Uncover and brush the butter onto the rolls. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons white sesame seeds. Bake until puffed, golden-brown, and a toothpick or skewer inserted in several spots comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.

Fill and assemble the rolls: 

Ditch store-bought appetizers and learn to make a simple spinach dip recipe. Chowhound&#39;s guide calls for fresh spinach, and details easy steps to yield 2.5 cups...

Fresh Spinach Dip

olive oil

carrot (from about 1 medium carrot), finely chopped

yellow onion, small dice

black pepper, plus more as needed

baby spinach, washed

scallions,

sour cream

mayonnaise

Worcestershire sauce

lemon juice

This recipe combines the best of both worlds: a light and crispy panko-coated rice ball with a creamy, cheesy, jalapeño-flecked filling

Jalapeño Popper Rice Balls

full-fat cream cheese (1/4 cup)

jalapeño peppers

white rice, preferably sushi rice

panko bread crumbs

canola oil,

Blended tomato salsa,

Place 1/4 cup cream cheese in a large bowl and let sit at room temperature until softened. Meanwhile, cut 12 (1/2-inch) cubes from 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese. Grate the remaining cheese on the large holes of a box grater. Seed and finely chop 2 medium jalapeños. Grate 1 garlic clove.

When the cream cheese is softened, add the grated cheese, jalapeño, garlic, 2 cups cooked white rice, and 1 teaspoon of the kosher salt to the bowl. Stir until everything is evenly mixed. Taste and season with more kosher salt and black pepper as needed.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide the mixture into 12 portions (about 3 tablespoons each). Stuff each portion with a cheese cube and shape into balls that completely enclose the cheese cube. Place on the baking sheet.

Lightly beat 2 large eggs in a shallow bowl and season with 1/4 teaspoon of the kosher salt. Place 1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a second bowl and stir to combine.

Dip and coat each ball completely in the eggs, then coat completely in the bread crumbs. Return to the baking sheet.

Heat 6 cups canola oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until 375°F. Fry the poppers in 3 batches: add 4 to the oil and fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate or wire rack. Season with salt and black pepper if desired. Serve immediately with the salsa if desired.

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F.

Place 4 tablespoons unsalted butter in a small, microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, 20 to 30 seconds. (Alternatively, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.) Add 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and whisk to combine. 

Without separating the rolls, cut 1 package Hawaiian sweet dinner rolls in half horizontally with a serrated knife. Place the bottom half of the rolls in a 9x13-inch or 7x11-inch baking dish.

Arrange 6 slices of the Swiss cheese on the rolls, overlapping the slices as needed to completely cover. Fold and arrange 12 thin slices ham over the cheese, arranging a slice on each roll. Layer the remaining 6 slices Swiss cheese over the ham. Place the top half of the rolls over the cheese.

Brush the butter onto the top of the rolls, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon poppy seeds. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.

Bake until the sandwich is heated through and the cheese melts, about 20 minutes. Uncover and bake until the rolls are lightly browned, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer the slab to a cutting board, then cut into individual sliders with a serrated knife before serving.
