I wanted to make bread so I bought a bread machine off Amazon, it's awesome and I really like it. I got some highly rated bread machine beer bread mixes and they are ok, but to me, they resemble cornbread more than they do bread. I got three different kinds of beer to try them with and they all tasted literally the exact same (You couldn't even taste anything that resembles beer/hops). The bread was sweeter rather than a nice "authentic, quality, fresh" bread flavor (That's what I'm looking for). This premix stuff that I got didn't even need to sit for the dough to rise or proof or anything. When I realized that, I knew it wasn't going to be what I wanted, but I still made it anyway. Just mix with your favorite beer and put in the oven (or bread machine). Does anyone know of a bread machine mix or recipe that will give me what I'm looking for? I thought that yeast was a part of this? I want that fresh, yeasty, delicious hoppy beer bread flavor that I remember from 20 years ago when I last did this.
p.s. I thought that the dome of the loaf was going to have a nice "solid" crusty like texture, but the entire loaf (each time) was like a loaf of cornbread, the exact same texture throughout the entire loaf. Help!
