Guinness Quick Bread Recipes

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.

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.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a large loaf pan (or 2 smaller ones) by spraying lightly with oil (like Pam Spray or Baker's Joy)
• 2. REMEMBER TO DOUBLE SIFT THE FLOUR - either the self-rising or AP flour. NOTE: measure after sifting
• 3. Mix the dry ingredients, 1/4 cup melted butter, and beer together. Pour into a prepared loaf pan
• 4. Pour the remaining 1/4 cup of melted butter over mixture; and then bake 1 hour.
• 5. Remove to a wire rack and let cool for a few minutes. Turn the loaf out and slice at least 1" pieces. Serve warm, with or without spreading on softened butter or honey. Enjoy!
