Turned out pretty good. The mead flavor was much stronger in the bread the next day. Is that normal? My dough wasn't like a batter at all. I almost wanted to try kneading it and letting it rise. I feel like this would be amazing with a cinnamon sugar crust. -
This bread was a great way to use up some leftover mead, but overall I was underwhelmed. Baked mine exactly to instructions, but the bottom was so burnt I had to cut it off. The bread itself is somewhat dense and surprisingly not that sweet. It seems like a decent base to make cinnamon-sugar or cheese-herb bread, maybe! -
I tried this in my bread machine with mixed success.<br/><br/>The dough was more like batter, rather runny, so I added about 1/2 cup of flour and about 1/8 tsp of baking powder to thicken it. <br/><br/>I estimated 1.5 lb loaf size and the basic/white bread setting. <br/><br/>The bread has a nice flavor and is spongy. But not very strongly tasting of mead.<br/><br/>The dough didnt rise much, and the butter on top was nice, but the sides were almost burnt while the top was still doughy and fell off when i upended the loaf to pull it out.<br/><br/>Perhaps in a conventional over there is more control over rising time, but I will have to play with it to get it to work in the machine. I have yet to play with beer bread either, but rising seems to be the chief issue. Reminds be of grad school beer loaves... Bottle of beer, 3 cups of flour, 3 tablespoons of sugar, mix, the bake. Decent bachelor bread, but nothing to write home about.
