2 cups rye flour
1 3/4 cups room temperature beer
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons Margerine
1 egg
3 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon caraway seed (optional)
1 tablespoon cornmeal
1/2 cup Fine shredded Asagio
2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
2 teaspoon Onion Powder
Instructions
1.Combine rye flour, beer, and yeast in a large bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Set out overnight. Do not refrigerate.
2.The next day, add sugar, salt, shortening, and egg; beat with mixer until smooth. Stir in caraway seeds, if wanted. Add enough white bread flour to make a soft dough.
3.Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, approximately 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, and turn to oil the surface of the dough. Let rise in warm place about 2 hours, or until doubled.
4.Punch down dough, and divide in half. Shape into round or oblong loaves, and place on greased baking sheets sprinkled with corn meal. Let rise for 1 hour
5.Bake at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Cool on racks.

Main Ingredient :
Use glass or plastic when making the beer mush. I leave it in the oven overnight with the light on. I mix the cheese, onion and garlic powder in with the beer mush. If your bread machine has a setting to add fruit or nuts at a given time, put the caraway seeds in then. Before baking, I use an eggwash for a shiny crust and to make my toppings stick. A good dark beer has more flavor.
The best toppings in the world are here.

For a decent price on Rye Flour, check Cash & Carry, otherwise order online. It's a little pricey in the stores around here.
Have fun with yer Zo!
