Wheat Rolls

Ketex wrote a new recipe book, and of course I had to get it. Here is the first recipe I made from it, relatively simple bread rolls, but - man - they were good right out of the oven. Simplicity doesn't mean they are quick to make though. There are two 8+ hours resting periods, so it requires a little bit of planning.

Dark Beer Bread with Spelt Flakes

All the breads I made so far that contain beer were big successes. So I picked one that has beer in it as the first recipe I made from a new recipe book I got. The dark beer is actually used to prepare the sourdough as well as to soak spelt flakes.

I made a few modifications on the recipe. First and foremost: The recipe was for 4 breads, I reduced all amounts to make only one. I also changed some of the preparation to avoid moving the dough as much. And I left out the cheese used in the recipe as well, which was already a suggested modification.
