Preparation Steps
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
Pour in the room temperature beer and stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. It will be sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes smoother and more elastic. Add a little more flour if it's too sticky to handle, but be careful not to add too much.
Press the dough into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Let the bread cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
This bread is fantastic on its own, toasted with butter, or used for sandwiches. The type of beer you use will subtly influence the flavor.
