Ever wonder what you can do with spent grain? So did I. I dump in the garden and in the compost pile but i have always wanted to make something else out of it and that when I stumbled onto the idea of spent grain bread. Something I had heard of but hadn't tried or really researched until after I brewed my Rye IPA and figured this would be great grain to use.

I read a lot of recipes on line and finally settled on the simplest.

For each loaf you only need 1/4 of a cup to 1/2 cup of grain depending on your tastes and texture preference. The grain will freeze so save as much as you want for future bread.

Ingredients for one loaf:
1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of spent grain
3 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
1/4 tsp of kosher salt
1 tbsp of bread yeast
1 1/4 cup of luke warm water

Process:
dump all of the ingredients together and mix. Yes, including the yeast. This recipe didn't call for soaking the yeast in warm water first. Once thoroughly combined let rise. I let it rise for an hour or do then stored overnight in the fridge. Just make sure the dough warms up on baking day.

Time to bake.

I preheated my oven to 425. While that was going on I punched the dough down and shaped into a loaf (use flour to keep from sticking) and let rise on top of the stove for 20 minutes. On the bottom rack I placed a roasting pan with water to create steam. I placed the loaves and cut slits on the top crust on my baking stone and placed on the center rack. I set the timer for 20 min. Checked and set for another 5 min. Checked again and set for 10 min. The bread is done when you knock on the top and it sounds hollow. Once done remove and let cool.
