Basic recipe:
800g Strong White Flour ( Odlums )
400g Spent grains - moist but not soaking, mine is usually at least a day old - kept in fridge / freezer as required )
1 tsp salt
2 tbl spoon olive oil
Packet of bread yesast ( McDougals )
400 ml of beer or wort of choice at about 40 C
Mix up dough in usual way and knead as usual. I now use a Kenwood with a dough hook and the above amount is the max it will take
Put in tins, cover with film or put in plastic bag and prove in a warm oven ( 40 C ) for a minimum of an hour or better 2
Remove bread and keep warm.
Put a dish of hot water in the oven and heat oven to 230 C
When up to temp, top up water, add bread and turn down to 200 C.
Cook for 40 mins ( depends on shape of loaves ) check after about 30 mins to be sure.
Removce, wrap in foil, wrap in towel and leave to cool
Result moist bread with a nive but not bullet proof crust
Cheers

I've got back into breadmaking the last couple months, and like the look of the recipe above, and wouldn't mind using up a bit of my spent grain this way. I notice that you don't mention and sugar or honey for a fermentable, which I normally would add to help it prove. Is this just an oversight or do you get some sugars from the spent grains?[/quote:3vyu50s3]
Oops, yep I add a teaspoon of sugar as well!!
And experience says that depending on how wet the grain is maybe less than 400 ml of liquid will be needed.
