Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark rye bread
- 500 milliliters Dark beer (like stout or porter)
- 200 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 50 milliliters Whipping cream (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts or seeds (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
1. Begin by slicing the dark rye bread into small pieces or chunks. The bread should be at least a day or two old for the best texture.
Step 2
2. In a medium-sized pot, combine the dark beer and water. Heat this liquid mixture over medium heat until warm but not boiling.
Step 3
3. Add the bread pieces into the pot with the warm liquid. Stir gently to ensure the bread is evenly soaked, then let it sit for 5-10 minutes to soften.
Step 4
4. Transfer the soaked bread mixture into the pan of your automatic bread maker (ABM).
Step 5
5. Add the brown sugar, salt, and butter into the bread maker. Set the machine to the ‘Jam’ or ‘Preserves’ setting, which will thoroughly heat and blend the bread mixture.
Step 6
6. Once the bread machine has finished its cycle (approximately 60 minutes), check the consistency of the Øllebrød. It should be smooth, thick, and porridge-like. If needed, use a hand blender or immersion blender to smoothen it further.
Step 7
7. Serve the Øllebrød warm in individual bowls. Top with a drizzle of cream and a sprinkle of chopped nuts or seeds for added richness and texture, if desired.
