Recipe for spent grain beer bread:
3 cups of spent grain (wet)
1.5 cups warm (~100 F) water
1 package (1 tablespoon) dry BAKERS yeast
1/3 cup sugar (I prefer brown)
3-5 cups flour
Dash of salt (optional)
Proof yeast in mixture of water and sugar (make a starter). You should see krausen in less than an hour.
Put spent grain in large mixer bowl. Mix in starter, and start adding flour. Keep adding flour until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky. Place dough in a large bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise until doubled. Punch down dough, and either:
A) Split into two loaves and place in greased bread pans
B) Form into a round loaf and place on cookie sheet with a thin layer of corn meal under the loaf.
Allow loaf to double in size, bake in 375 F oven 30 to 40 minutes until browned and then test with the toothpick method until it comes out clean after being inserted into the center of the loaf.

Steve Morrisey’s Spent Grain Bread
When you make all grain beer save the grain. Use sandwich size zip lock bags.
Fill up 3 or 4 bags. Then freeze them until you bake bread.
2 cups Spent Grain (put the grain in a coffee grinder or food processor and grind them up)
4 cups Bread Flour
1 cup Wheat Flour
1 1/2 tsp. Salt
1/4 cup of Sugar
1/2 Stick of Butter
1 Egg (Beaten)
2 cup of Warm Water
1 TBS. of Olive Oil
1/2 cup of warm water & 2 1/4 tsp. Bread yeast
Mix together and knead with 1 more cup of flour.
Let rise and flatten down divide into 2 or 4 pc. Depends on how big you want your bread loafs or roll little balls to make rolls. Freeze the rest and take out when you want more bread.
Let it rise again and bake.
Bake at 350F for 35 min. for loafs or 10-12 min. for rolls.
Use corn meal on cookie sheet so loaf does not stick to pan.
1 tsp. Olive Oil to brush the top of the bread when it comes out of the oven.
Pretzel or Breadstick Dough
1 pkg yeast
5-6 cups flour
1 cup spent grain
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups warm water
Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
Combine all sic ingredients and knead. Flour surface and then take a small ball of the
dough and roll it out to create the pretzel or breadstick. Do not leave dough to rise. It
takes some work to roll out the bread sticks or pretzels. Keep trying!
Once you have created the pretzel or stick, place/drop it in a pan of boiling water that has
5 teaspoons of baking soda in it for one minute. Remove and put on greased cookie
sheet.
Before baking, brush with egg whites and if desired add salt. Kosher salt is larger and
gives a neat look and taste to your pretzel. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, no longer. Cool
on a rack and enjoy with mustard, cheese, salsa or plain.
