Guinness soda bread recipe

Ingredients

  • 270g plain flour
  • 250g wholemeal flour
  • 150g jumbo oats, plus more for sprinkling
  • 1 tbsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 2 tsp sea salt flakes
  • 250ml stout
  • 250ml buttermilk
  • 1 tbsp black treacle
  • salted butter, to serve

Method

  • STEP 1

    Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Whisk the flours, oats, bicarb and salt in a large bowl. Pour the stout and buttermilk into a jug and whisk in the treacle, then pour into the bowl with the oats. Mix well with a wooden spoon until combined.

  • STEP 2

    With heavily floured hands, shape the dough into a 20cm round and slide onto a lined baking tray. Flour the handle of a wooden spoon and, holding it horizontally, push to the bottom of the loaf to make a cross. Sprinkle with a handful of oats. Bake for 40-50 mins or until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Leave to cool slightly.

  • STEP 3

    Serve warm with plenty of salted butter.
