Stoutbeerbread Recipes

IRISH GUINNESS BROWN BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
• In a large bowl, combine the oats, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the beer, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into the well. With your fingers, stir the batter from the middle of the bowl to the outside, until it's well mixed. It will look more like cake batter than bread dough.
• Brush a 9 x 5 x 2 1/2-inch loaf pan with melted butter. Pour the batter into the pan and sprinkle the top with oats. Put the bread in the oven, immediately turn the temperature down to 400 degrees, and bake for 45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Turn the bread out onto a baking rack and allow to cool completely. Slice and serve with salted butter.

GUINNESS® BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
• Mix together the oats, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In a separate large bowl, stir together the butter, vanilla, buttermilk, and Guinness® beer. Pour the flour mixture into the beer mixture, and gently stir until well blended. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan, and sprinkle with additional oats if desired.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, then turn the temperature down to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), and bake for an additional 30 minutes. Turn the oven off, open the door, and allow to cool for 30 minutes in the oven before turning out onto a wire rack.

GUINNESS BEER BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F degrees.
• Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
• Add Guinness and eggs; stir just until blended.
• Pour into greased 9x5x3 loaf pan.
• Bake at 375F for approximately 70 minutes.
• Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.

BEER BREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan and dust with cornmeal. For stovetop baking, use a heavy Dutch oven or similar pot that has been greased and dusted with cornmeal but not heated.
• Mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar and stir in the beer. Place batter in the pan. Oven baking will take about 35 minutes. For stovetop baking, cover the pan and place it on a heat shield over a low to medium flame and bake until a knife or cake tester comes out clean.
• Remove from pan, drizzle with butter if desired and allow to cool completely before slicing. The bread has a texture similar to that of English muffins and tastes best toasted.

STOUT (BEER) BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick.(butter flavored) spray.
• Into a large bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
• Slowly pour half of the beer into the flour mixture and stir (The pub cans of Guinness are larger than 12 ounces, but they have better carbonation, so use what you need and drink ;=) the rest.).
• Add the molasses and stir in the balance of the beer.
• Stir in optional craisins, dates, or nuts.
• NOTE: Stir just enough to blend in the flour but DO NOT over mix or you'll end up with a beer brick!
• Pour into the prepared loaf pan (no more than 2/3 full).
• Bake for 45 - 55 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
• Cool in pan for 5 minutes, and then turn it out onto a rack.
• Drizzle or brush the butter on the top of the bread.
