Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 250 grams Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 75 grams Brown sugar
- 50 grams Rolled oats
- 60 grams Butter, melted
- 400 milliliters Guinness beer (or any stout)
- 100 milliliters Buttermilk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and lightly dust it with flour or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, brown sugar, and rolled oats. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave and set it aside to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl or large measuring jug, whisk together the Guinness beer and buttermilk until well combined.
Pour the melted butter into the dry ingredients, followed by the beer-buttermilk mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until a thick batter forms. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter looks slightly lumpy.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly. If desired, sprinkle a handful of rolled oats on top for decoration.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. The top should be golden brown, and the bread will have a firm crust.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices of Guinness bread on its own, with butter, or alongside your favorite soups and stews. Enjoy!
