There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Beer Bread - Untested

I don't know where this came from! But it's some sort of bread, and it looks like it's from a French site.

Makes 2 loaves

500g flour
33 cl amber beer
7g dry active yeast 
2 Tbsps. olive oil
1 tsp. salt

Temps total : 5 h 25 min

45 min
Cuisson :

40 min
Repos :

4 h 0 min

In a large bowl combine the flour and yeast. 
Make a well in the middle and add the oil and beer.
Use a wooden spoon to combine and then use your hands to knead until a ball forms (about 10 minutes).
Add the salt and continue to knead, folding the dough frequently. The dough must  easily come away from the sides and be elastic (about 15 minutes). Place the dough ball in a large salad bowl slightly powdery with flour then cover it with a clean and humid cloth before letting it lift at room temperature sheltered from the tunes for 2 to 3 hours (it must double volume).
