• 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 1 hour, or until doubled.
• 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 30 minutes.

SMOKED CHEESE AND BEER FONDUE WITH BEER-SIMMERED BRATWURST, GRILLED BACON, MUSHROOMS AND RYE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for direct grilling. If using charcoal, arrange it so that you have areas of medium-high and low to medium-low heat.
• Combine the cheeses in a large bowl and toss with the cornstarch. Bring the brat cooking liquid to a simmer in a medium saucepan over the higher heat. Add the cheese, a few handfuls at a time, and stir in a figure eight motion with a wooden spoon until smooth. Whisk in the 2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard and hot sauce and season with salt and pepper if needed. Transfer to a fondue pot and keep warm.
• Place a drip pan under the lower heat side of the grill and put the bacon on the grill. Cook until nicely charred on both sides and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter or cutting board.
• Toss the mushroom caps with some of the canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mushroom caps to a grill basket and cook over the higher heat side, tossing occasionally, until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl.
• Brush the rye bread on both sides with canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the bread over the higher heat side until toasted and slightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter or cutting board.
• Cut the bacon, rye bread and Beer-Simmered Bratwurst into chunks. Serve alongside the fondue with the mushrooms and the mustards.
• Preheat the grill for direct grilling, high heat.
• Combine the beer, caraway, coriander, mustard seeds, onions, garlic and ginger in a large stockpot. Then, add the bratwurst. Place the pot on the grates of the grill and bring to a simmer. Simmer the sausages until half-cooked, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the grill and let the bratwurst sit in the liquid for 30 minutes. Transfer the brats to a platter or cutting board and strain the liquid into a bowl, discard the solids. Reserve the liquid for the fondue.
• Brush the sausages with canola oil and grill until the casings are crisp and golden brown and the sausages are cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Keep warm until serving.

RYE AND MOLASSES BREAD WITH BEER

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in milk. Set aside in a warm place to proof, about five minutes.
• Mix all but one tablespoon of the molasses with orange rind, salt and ground fennel seeds in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then mix with beer in a large bowl. Mix the remaining tablespoon of molasses with a tablespoon of warm water and set aside to use as a glaze.
• Stir in the yeast mixture. Then stir in the oats, bran and rye flour. Add the whole wheat flour, a half-cup at a time, to make a soft, somewhat sticky dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a board liberally spread with the all-purpose flour. Knead until the dough is soft, smooth and fairly elastic, adding more all-purpose flour as necessary. Most of the stickiness should be gone from the dough.
• Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover and set aside to rise until doubled, one-and-a-half to two hours. Punch dough down, knead briefly and divide in half.
• Shape each portion of dough into a narrow, plump oval and press the fennel seeds into the top of each loaf. Place loaves on an oiled baking sheet and set aside to rise until doubled, about one hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush each loaf with some of the glaze prepared in Step 2. Place breads in the middle of the oven and bake until they sound hollow when tapped, about 40 minutes. Brush more glaze on the loaves during baking.
• Cover breads loosely with foil and cool on racks.
