Guinness Brown Bread
Equipment
- Bowls
- Spatula
- Loaf tin 2lb
- Weighing scales
Ingredients
- 350 grams Wholemeal flour (I used one with seeds in it but you can add them extra if you like)
- 100 grams Plain flour
- 2 tsp Bicarbonate of soda/Baking soda
- 50 grams Oats
- 1 tsp Light brown sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 50 grams Butter
- 2 tbsp Treacle
- 200 grams Buttermilk
- 200 grams Guinness
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200C/180 C Fan. Grease and line your 2 lb loaf tin.
- In a large bowl add in both your flours, oats, sugar, salt, bicarbonate soda and mix. Add in some extra seeds here if you like.
- Add in your butter cubed. Rub the butter into the flour until you have the texture of bread crumbs.
- In a separate bowl mix your buttermilk, Guinness and treacle. Pour this mix into the bowl with all your dry ingredients.
- Mix until all combined then place into your loaf tin.
- Top your loaf with some extra seeds and oats if you like then bake for 40-45 minutes until a skewer comes out clean or the centre reaches 75C+
- Leave your bread to cool for about 15 minutes in the tin then remove onto a wire rack and let cool completely.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- This bread can last up to 4 days once well covered.
- Bread can be sliced and frozen for handiness.
- I added extra seeds to mine as they were pre made into my wholemeal flour.
- I added extra oats and seeds to the top of my bread but this is optional.
- If you don’t have treacle you can leave it out but use honey or extra sugar instead. The treacle gives a lovely flavour and colour to the bread so use it if you can.
