Guinness Wheaten Bread

Name: Guinness Wheaten Bread
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 40 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 260 g Wholemeal flour; 90 g Rolled oats; 1 tbsp Light brown sugar; 2 tsp Bicarbonate of soda; 1 tsp Baking powder; 1/2 tsp Salt; 240 ml Buttermilk; 255 ml Guinness; 2 tbsp Butter; 2 tbsp Treacle

Guinness in bread probably shouldn’t work but believe me it does. There's so many names for this type of bread but I'd know it as wheaten bread. I learnt from my time in Galway that it can be called brown bread, soda bread or even my own wheaten bread. The Guinness and treacle give it a lovely deep flavour with a touch of sweetness from the sugar. If you've ever been lucky enough to have the brown bread from the Huntsman in Galway, this is the closest I've had to it.

This is honestly the softest, most delicious bread I've ever made. I knocked a bit of air out of it mixing the treacle in but it still rose beautifully. Cooking times were spot on and I even scoffed the heel. Thanks for the recipe. 😋
