-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 1/4 cups bread flour -- divided
12 ounces bottle Guinness Stout
2 1/4 teaspoons dry yeast -- (1 pkg)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dried tart cherries
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate -- coarsely chopped
cooking spray
1 teaspoon water
1 large egg white -- lightly beaten
1 teaspoon pearl sugar -- optional
1. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.
Combine 2 cups flour, beer, and yeast in a large bowl, stirring with
a whisk. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
2. Remove mixture from refrigerator; let stand 1 hour.
3. Add 2 cups flour, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and salt, stir
until a soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto a floured surface.
Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes); add enough of
remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from
sticking to hands (dough will feel tacky). Knead in cherries and chocolate.
4. Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to
coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85F), free from drafts,
I hour or until doubled in size. (Gently press 2 fingers into dough.
If indentation remains, dough has risen enough.
5. Punch dough down; cover and let rest 5 minutes. Shape dough into a
9-inch round; place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Lightly coat dough with cooking spray. Cover and let rise 1 hour or
until doubled in size.
6. Preheat oven to 350F.
7. Uncover the dough. Combine water and egg white, stirring with a
whisk, and brush over dough. Sprinkle the dough with pearl sugar, if
desired. Make a 1/4" deep cut down the center of dough using a sharp knife.
8. Bake at 350F for 30 minutes or until bread is browned on bottom
and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from pan; cool on a wire rack.
Yield: 20 servings (serving size: 1 slice).

NOTES : An overnight sponge made with stout creates a rich, complex
flavor that matches well with bittersweet chocolate and dried tart
cherries. Because yeast feeds on the sugar in the beer, keep the
sponge in the refrigerator to control the yeast's growth. A
sprinkling of pearl sugar (available at gourmet stores and large
supermarkets) adds texture.
