This beer bread is so simple that it can be assembled in a matter of minutes, and it was made using beer.
– 2 cups all purpose flour – 1 cup oat flour – 1/2 cup golden brown sugar, packed – 1 Tbsp baking powder – 1 tsp coarse salt – 11.2 ounces Guinness Draught, (one bottle) – 1 Tbsp rolled oats
Heat the oven to 350F. Butter a regular loaf pan and line it with parchment. The paper is optional but makes a handy'sling' for removing the bread after baking.
Mix flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Clear your brown sugar of lumps.
Add Guinness and mix. Don't overmix; just mix until all flour is incorporated. Spread evenly in your prepared pan.
Top with rolled oats. The bread can be baked right away, but for optimal results, let it rest on the counter for 20–30 minutes.
Bake 35 minutes till risen and golden. A central toothpick should not show wet batter (moist crumbs are fine).
After cooling, slice and enjoy the bread. It seems to dry out if I slice it before eating. Bread can last a week in foil, plastic, or an airtight container. This can be frozen for longer storage.
