yep, I did use those spent grains....

[BoomTown]

for a bread recipe.

Not that I had one, I sort of made one up.

I took 1 cup of grains from a 50/25/25 mix of spent corn/wheat/barley malt, added 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of canola oil, 1/2 cup of warm water, 1/3 cup white sugar, and a tablespoon of redstar yeast. Mixed to a very damp dough, allowed to rise to double it's volume twice, then slipped it into a 350 F degree, preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Taste and texture is more like a cake than a bread, but I'm wondering what would have happened had I been aiming at some sort of sandwich size flatter loaf than a bowl or bread pan. Loved the crust, and the heart...

yet, will make some for my office mates....

Boom

I will have a slice of cake/bread and 3 fingers of that all grain please. It sounds good. Waste not want not. If the texture it like cake maybe some sugar or brown sugar next time and drown it with some white sugar topping like you put on a pound cake.

I been feelin' real bad about baggin' up my spent SF grain and throwin' it in the gargage. It always looks good enough to eat with a spoon. But, the old woman and the daughter both have celiac disease, so I can't be feedin' them barley - makes them righteously sick.

That bread/cake sounds real good though. Maybe I'll whip up some for me and the boy - keep the women folk at a distance from it.

Just sayin',

I've been thinking of trying a bread with my spent grains, but drying them first, and grinding them to flour. Could be interesting

[NZChris]

I was adding about 2/3 cup of freshly spent grains from a UJSSM style all grain into our usual breadmaker recipe and getting good feedback from the proles.

[bellybuster]

I make dog biscuits out of it.

I've been throwing mine in the compost, but some of those recipes sound pretty good WV, will talk to my wife as she is a retired Home Ec teacher and see what she has to say!

My buddy has some wild turkeys that know when the spent grain is served.

[Halfbaked]

That would be good to lure the turkeys in for thanksgiving but I thing WV has it right. Those blondies look to be great. I am thinking that all grain malt is what they are using and corn would turn me off if I had to pick some out of it. Corn might make me think of something else I don't want to think about when eating something that looks real nice. How bought drunk turkeys and then a blondie. IM in.

Hey Dub....those folks are a lot more artsy than me. Mine turned out looking like half a basket ball, and tasted great. Am thinking about doing some more tonight during the ball game.

Boom

[NZChris]

No turkeys around here, but when I was putting the spent corn out, a drake showed up every day, and brought his missus with him a few times.... or maybe she followed him to find out why he was getting home pissed every night.

The deer and the geese love the spent grains

So does the dog and OMG the dog farts are the
worst thing ever

It's a good thing having a bunch of gassy dogs around the house. I never get fussed at for my farts - just make like it was the dogs.

I think they are more of a beer brewery than distillery, but some could be converted I'm sure. They do look tasty and anyone with a brewery could sure up there usage from their grains. Glad you enjoyed.

I was thinking of making dog treats with spent grain. Maybe not such a good idea.

No dog here, the turkey's here all wear silk suits and drive mercedeze, but I'd bet that there would be no difference in the smell of the gass these turkeys would pass and what passes for 'legislative dialogue' cross the river now, even if they were eating the spent grain....feed the dog the grain...

Boom ( cross the river from Congress)

[NZChris]

It's a bit tricky getting out to the hunting block at the moment because we are looking after my geriatric Dad, but when we are free I'm sure spent grains will be bringing pigs from miles around.

Wanted to bring my 'spent grain bread' to Thanksgiving dinner at a friends house, but we ate part of it last night.

Oh well, next year I'll make more, and bigger loafs....

If you live in a country where today is a holiday, Happy Thanksgiving day! Tip one up for ol BoomTown and friends!

[BoomTown]

Well, my bread is a hit! Am asked to bring some to a pre-holiday dinner party tonight that is being hosted by an emerging chef over in D.C.

Now I have to fine tune the recipe a bit, it's ok with me if it slumps a little in the middle as it bakes, but it looks a littl funny. I'd like to figure how how to make it stay 'raised' up as it bakes.. .I'm thinking it's some kind of chemistry issue, maybe I'm not baking at the right temperature....? any help ?

Find some gluten (Vital Wheat Gluten) and add a tablespoon to your recipe.
