Beer and cheese bread for lazy bakers

CheeseBeerBread

Bread.  The final frontier.  These are the voyages of the Breadship Cooksister.  Her mission:  to explore new loaves. To seek out new yeasts and new starters.  To boldly bake where no dough has gone before…

[wakes up from dream]

Who am I kidding?? Check out the recipe index on my site and tell me how many bread recipes you see.  I’ll tell you – a big fat zero!  I bake endless muffins.  I make a cracking quiche.  My cookies are much sought-after.  But somehow the bread thing passed me by.  Yes folks, I feel no need to knead.  In fact the only time I have ever handled live yeast and kneaded a loaf was under close supervision at the wonderful Cucina Caldesi Italian baking class (I must say that it was surprisingly unthreatening – but once I got home the urge to  bake mysteriously went away).

I blame my mother.  She was an enthusiastic cook all her life and pretty adventurous in the years that she was a stay-at-home mome, but she was also a Professor of Radiography and very active in her profession from about the time my brother and went to school.  When faced with the competing pressures of her profession, a husband, a large house and two young kids, she became an ardent fan of the “life’s too short to stuff a mushroom” school of cooking.  I can safely say that I never saw my mom kneading bread and I was not aware that such a thing as live yeast existed until well into my twenties!  But she was a fan of quick and easy bread recipes and I do remember one particular recipe that she would always make with homemade soup on a Sunday night.  I never knew the provenance of this recipe though.  And because her mom (my grandmother) died when Mamma was only seven years old, I presumed it wasn’t an heirloom recipe.

When I was last home over Christmas, one of the things I decided to bring back with me was my mom’s index book of recipes.  Some are handwritten (some even in my own hand!), some are photocopied, some are torn from magazines – many aren’t even stuck in, merely tucked.  And at the back of the book I found a document that didn’t seem to belong in the book at all – the minutes of a committee meeting of the Natal Branch of the South African Society of Radiographers, dated 1977.  I was about to throw it out when item four caught my eye.  The heading was “Matters arising from correspondence” and the item 4.2 read as follows:  “In reply to Memo 46, the Committee offers the following” – followed by the recipe for the yeastless, no-knead wholewheat loaf that I knew so well from many a Sunday night soup evening.  It reminded me so much of the way my mom and many of her colleagues cheerfully juggled family life with professional life and it made me smile because I see so much of that in me. Can’t fight the genes.

However, the recipe I offer you today is not that recipe – we’ll leave that for another time. Bierbroodjiedetail  Seeing as braai season  has been in full swing at Chez Cooksister, what with the lovely weather we’ve unexpectedly been having, I thought I’d post something that goes well with a braai.  Those of you who remember my post on the great South African tradition of The Braai will recall that most of the cooking is done by the menfolk. This has traditionally meant that many of the side dishes are also reduced to their manly basics.  The beer bread recipe below was given to me by an ex colleague when I was still happily ensconced in academia – a red-blooded South African male if ever you saw one.  This bread was his showpiece at our annual staff braai and it is a keeper.  Preparation time is, oooh, 5 minutes and then you just plonk it in the oven and wait.  Could it be easier?

I modified the recipe slightly by adding the fresh thyme and next time I’ll sprinkle Maldon flakes on top. Oh, and I though I still had sesame seeds but then discovered I’d used them all up to make Bron’s chocolate oat and sesame cookies and I had to substitute sunflower seeds.  But otherwise it’s unchanged.  It makes a small loaf with a delicious chewy golden crust and a dense, cakey crumb.  The yeasty beer flavour (I used Budweiser) really comes through in the end product and the cheese adds a wonderful richness.  I was munching away on it over the weekend thinking ummm, this reminds me of something.  And then it struck me:  a cheese fondue!!  Bread.  Cheese. Beer.  It all makes sense now.

It’s bread, Jim, but not as we know it.

Bierbroodjie2BEER AND CHEESE BREAD (BIER- EN KAASBROODJIE) makes one medium loaf

Ingredients

500g self-raising flour
1/2 tsp salt
125g cheddar, cut into small cubes
340ml beer (a can in South Africa, slightly less than a full can here in the UK)
50ml water
1Tbsp fresh thyme
50ml sesame or sunflower seeds
Maldon salt to sprinkle on top

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 180C  Grease a small loaf tin.

Sift flour and salt together in a mixing bowl.  Stir in the beer, cheese, water and thyme.  You can add a little water if the dough is too dry.  Mix until all the flour has been moistened and the dough forms a cohesive mass.

Transfer the dough to the loaf tin, sprinkle with seeds and Maldon salt and place in the pre-heated oven.

Test with a skewer after about one hour when the top is golden brown – if the skewer comes out clean, remove from oven. Serve with plenty of butter.

NB – leave to cool for 10 minutes or so before you slice!!  I was in too much of a hurry to get at that glorious-smelling loaf and ended up shredding one end in my haste 😉

This post was submitted as my entry to this month’s edition of Waiter, there’s something in my…  – the monthly themed cooking event hosted in rotation by me, Johanna and Andrew.  Check out Andrew’s blog for the roundup – and look out for my annoucement as your host next month!

And have a look at my bread made by Sam, another blogging South African in Australia.  She also makes a fab-sounding version using stout instead of lager, and that most top-secret of South African ingredients, brown onion soup/gravy 😉

More deliciousness for you!

    I think I come from your mother’s school of cooking, which is why I have never made bread. But it was one of my goals to do so this year, and I think this may be the recipe that kicks it off! Please also post that wholewheat bread recipe.

    That beer bread looks delicious, Jeanne. I bet it would be good made with yeast and flour instead of self-raising flour too. 😉 (Actually I know it’s a good combination – I’ve made a somewhat similar yeast bread with hard apple cider and cheddar cheese)
    Good idea to put sunflower seeds on top!

    P.S. I’d like to file a grievance: how is it that you managed to post this on time?! I was counting on you to be late so I could use you as an example if I tried to wheedle with Andrew to add my tardy post to the roundup. But as it is, I don’t have a leg to stand on. (oooh too bad this isn’t EoMEoTE!! I could have said I “l’egg to stand on”!)

    oooh, yum! now, the big question: anyone tried bread on the barbie/braai?
    Im thinking naan type flat bread will be easy, or a damper-y thing (more scone-y), but this recipe might be worth a go. anyone else game?

    Thanks for this wonderful recipe, Jeanne. I made it yesterday – my first attempt at bread ever – and it was a raging success with our braai. I used Emmenthaler and rosemary because Cheddar is hard to find in Deutschland, but I imagine the sharp bite of Cheddar must be delicious. This is a winner. The only problem is I can’t make it too often because it is very, very moreish.

    Yes, Zoe, both naan and pita work wonderfully baked in the barbecue. So do pizza and focaccia.
    Preheat the barbecue and then just lay the shaped bread directly on the grill. Close the lid for a couple of minutes. If you’re making naan or pita, in no time, they will start to bubble. Turn them (use tongs), close the lid again and in a few minutes, they’ll be done.
    It’s a great way to have bread in the summer-time.
    -Elizabeth
    P.S. In case you’re interested, here are photos of focaccia dough made into buns for hamburgers and baked on the barbecue: http://etherwork.net/recipes/photopages/buns.html

    Hi J

    I googled “beer bread south Africa” and Cooksister came up first! Both my mother and I are somewhat gluten intolerant and I baked a beer loaf using gluten free flour (bought at Dischem on Andrea’s recommendation). It turned out somewhat heavy, but not inedible. Do you have any advice for baking a gluten free loaf (without yeast because I’m too impatient!)?

    Thanks and keep up the good work!

    Love

    J

🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London! Every 🌷🌷🌷 It’s tulip season in London!

Everywhere you look, these long-legged floral supermodels are adding a splash of colour to parks and gardens and I just can’t get enough of them! It’s easy to see how they inspired a collective buying frenzy in 17th Century Holland, called “tulip fever”, but today there are less dramatic ways to enjoy them. Here are a couple of suggestions of where to see them at their best:

🌷 The ultimate tulipalooza is the annual opening of Keukenhof gardens outside Amsterdam where 7 million (!) bulbs burst into life each Spring. This year the gardens are open 24 March-15 May (click on the link in my bio for FAQs and my top tips for visitors)

🌷In London, Kew Gardens always has spectacular displays of tulips; but you can also see excellent and free tulips in most of the Royal Parks such as Regents Park. 

🌷The Hampton Court Palace tulip festival is on until 2 May and the Hever  Castle’s Tulip Celebrations until 24 April - both within easy reach of London.

🌷The Morges Fete de la Tulipe in Switzerland takes place every year against the spectacular backdrop of Lake Geneva - it is on until 8 May this year.

I spotted these spectacular red frilly parrot tulips beside St Paul’s Cathedral yesterday 🌹 Where is the best display of tulips that you have ever seen?

🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸 T 🍒🌸 It’s cherry blossom season! 🍒🌸

There is no season in London that I love more than cherry blossom season! From March through to April, trees in various parks and gardens in London put on an amazing display of delicate pink and white blossoms - and everything in the city seems a little more magical. This particular tree near St Pauls must be among London’s most photographed, and it’s not hard to see why 💕

Did you know that...

🌸cherry blossoms are Japan’s national flower and are known as Sakura 

🌸In 1910, Japan sent the USA some cherry trees as a goodwill gesture… and the Dept of Agriculture inspectors nearly caused an international incident by burning them as they were carrying insects and diseases! But in 1915 Japan sent more cherry trees that survived the inspectors, and these marked the start of cherry trees in the USA.

🌸 Peak blossom season is usually only two to three weeks in March/April but is hard to predict as the weather and the subspecies of tree influence the timing.

🌸The cherry blossom capital of the  world is Macon, Georgia with 300,000 - 350,000 Yoshino cherry blossom trees.

🌸 There are over 200 different varieties of cherry blossom and some are purely ornamental (meaning they produce no cherries)

Where is your favourite place to see cherry blossoms in London or around the world? Let me know in the comments and happy blossom hunting! 🌸🍒🌸

*NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, *NEW RECIPE* Barbecued salmon with blood oranges, capers and dill. Pretty in pink 💕

[AD] Blood oranges are a small obsession of mine - from blood orange posset to blood orange and halloumi salad to blood orange & Cointreau upside down cake, I am always looking for new ways to make the most of their short season. Barbecuing them with salmon, capers and dill is a perfect match in terms of flavour as well as colour (or you can oven bake the salmon if it's not barbecue weather where you are!)

When @grahambeckuk asked me to suggest some recipes to match their wonderful Graham Beck Brut Rosé NV sparkling wine from South Africa, this was a pairing made in heaven, and wonderfully colour co-ordinated with their silver-pink bubbly. Get the full recipe and find out more about Graham Beck's sparkling wines, made using the same methods as Champagne, on my blog - link in my bio above.

This is Crossness Pumping Station @crossnesset , a Grade I listed heritage site and one of London's last remaining magnificent Victorian sewage (!) pumping stations in Abbey Wood near Rainham. 

Did you know that...

💩 You can visit the building on monthly open days - the next one is Sun 20 Feb. Book at www.crossness.org.uk

💩  It was only in 1856, after 3 major cholera outbreaks in 30 years and the Big Stink when the stench of London's sewage finally reached Parliament, that construction of an intercepting sewer system for the city was approved.  The system (parts of which are still in use today) was designed by Sir Joseph Bazalgette, Chief Engineer of London's Board of Metropolitan Works at the time.

💩  At Crossness, all London's sewage from south of the river was was raised by 9-12 metres to large reservoirs so that gravity would cause it to flow further east and into the Thames estuary. (Yes, until the 1880s, raw sewage was simply pumped into the Thames!)

💩 The incoming liquid was raised by the four enormous steam driven pumps, built to Joseph Bazalgette's design. The pumps were named Victoria, Prince Consort, Albert Edward, and Alexandra. They are thought to be the largest remaining rotative beam engines in the world, with 52-ton flywheels and 47-ton beams. 

💩 The pumping station was decommissioned and abandoned in the 1950s but declared a listed building in 1970.  Although all 4 beam engines remain in place, they were so damaged that today (thanks to the efforts of the Crossness Engines Trust) only Prince Consort has been restored to working condition and can be seen in action on open days.

💩 The exuberant and colourful wrought ironwork inside is the amazing work of architect Charles Henry Driver. My favourite detail is the fact that the pillars in the central atrium are topped with stylised figs and senna pods... two of nature's greatest natural laxatives 🤣
*NEW RECIPE* Roasted Brussels sprouts with feta ch *NEW RECIPE* Roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts

Ever noticed how you are affected by colours? 🌈

Maybe some colours make you agitated and some make you relaxed. Or maybe you find yourself inexplicably attracted to a particular colour (oh, hi teal and aqua!💙). On the basis that all colours have a wavelength, and that those outside the visible spectrum can affect us, it makes sense that the colours we see can affect our mood or even our physiology. Did you know for instance that exposure to red light can increase your blood pressure and heart rate? Are there any colours that you find yourself particularly attracted to or affected by?

The pretty colours of these roasted Brussels sprouts with feta cheese, pomegranate and pine nuts will be the first things that attract you to this dish - but it is the delicious combination of flavours and textures that will keep you coming back for more!

The recipe (and more about how colour affects us mentally and physically) is now live on my blog - click the live link in my profile and remember to like and bookmark this post to see more Cooksister in your Instagram feed ❤️
Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way Perspective: a particular attitude towards or way of regarding something.

Perspective is the one thing that the Covid-19 pandemic has given us plenty of. It has certainly made us re-evaluate what is truly important, and also what we did and didn't enjoy about our lives  before the pandemic and its associated lockdowns. It made me appreciate how much happiness my house, my job, my friends, my own company and my running bring to my life (and how fortunate I am to have all these things). But it also brought home how much I enjoy and miss travel, the theatre, and the luxury of reataurant visits at the drop of a hat. I don't think words can describe my joy at sipping the first coffee purchased from a coffee shop in summer 2020 as lockdown eased. It's the little things...

One of the things I have enjoyed and will not miss as the world creeps back to normality is the absence of crowds in what is usually a crowded city. On the occasions that I have been in central London since the start of the pandemic, streets have been blissfully empty and it has felt as if I were discovering my city anew. This glorious perspective (hah!) of St Paul's Cathedral normally requires a long wait while a queue of tourists and "influencers" ahead of you pose for photos - but on this glorious day last Spring it was almost deserted. I will miss that...

Is there anything you will miss as Covid-19 restrictions start to be lifted?
