Homemade beer bread

Beer bread is a great recipe to avoid food waste. We all know the feeling of having dry and boring leftover rye bread on the kitchen counter. Instead of it going to waste in the trash, it's a great idea to use it for a portion of beer porridge. 

TIP: Also try using your dry rye bread for delicious rye bread chips or crispy croutons

 You can use all types of rye bread to make homemade beer bread. Here we use this recipe for homemade rye bread with lots of grains. However, if you want a softer and not so coarse porridge, you can use a Southern Jutland rye bread or similar without grains. When the rye bread is crumbled, it is soaked in a mixture of beer and water. The beer gives a wonderful flavor to the porridge, but don't worry - the alcohol evaporates when the porridge boils, so children can easily eat it. 

TIP: You can use leftover beer bread instead of oatmeal in this recipe for cake pops.

Beer bread toppings

By varying the choice of toppings, you can make everything from a sweet dessert to a healthy breakfast. Traditionally, the porridge is topped with lightly whipped cream or eggnog. The porridge can also be eaten all year round. With ripe berries in the summer (a la strawberries with cream!) and a sweet compote in the winter. Also try topping with a little coarsely chopped dark chocolate, which certainly doesn't do anything bad for the taste.
