Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 12 fluid ounces Guinness beer
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with 1 teaspoon of unsalted butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar until well combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and slowly pour in the Guinness beer. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until the mixture is just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with the back of a spoon.
Pour the melted unsalted butter over the top of the dough, spreading it evenly. This will give the bread a golden, crusty top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the bread slightly warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
