Festive foods take on new meaning when made with serious beer. And who doesn’t like fresh-from-the-oven Pizza Bread bursting with flavor and made with serious beer?
This east-to-make recipe comes from the Oskar Blues Brewery and it’s made with the brewery’s flagship Dales Pale Ale Ale, an assertive yet balanced 6.5% trailblazer that singlehandedly changed the way the craft beer industry thought about canning its beers.
So let’s do this!
Dale’s Pale Ale Stuffed Pizza Bread
Ingredients
2 cups low-moisture mozzarella, shredded
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp dried basil
2 tbsp Dale’s Pale Ale
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to season
1 loaf, Italian or French bread
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup pepperoni slices, quartered
2 cups marinara sauce, for dipping (optional)
Directions
- Heat oven to 400° F. Combine mozzarella, red onion, basil, and pale ale in a mixing bowl. Season and mix well to combine.
- Using a bread knife, slice the bread on a diagonal about 1-1.5 inches apart. Repeat, slicing in the opposite direction to get a checkerboard effect. Be careful not to slice the bread all the way through.
- Brush melted butter all over the bread and into the crevices. Gently stuff with cheese mixture, then with the pepperoni slices.
4, Wrap loaf in tin foil and bake for 15 minutes. Carefully unwrap foil and bake for 5 more minutes until the bread is lightly browned.
- Serve warm, with marinara sauce if you like
Oskar Blues suggests that “you use one and drink two.” And we second that emotion…
