Brews and Blues Beer and Smokin’ Blues

Guinness Bread

I had another accident in the kitchen tonight that forced me to try something different. I was in the process of making another loaf of my beer bread when I knocked over my bottle of beer that I planned to use. I had nothing left but Guinness, and Guinness would not be my first choice of beers for bread.  So, I switched up the recipe and came up with this new loaf...

Guinness Bread

3 cups self rising flour
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons caraway seed
pinch of salt
1 bottle of Guinness Draught
1/4 cup melted butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.  Add the Guinness and mix throughly.  Transfer the batter into a prepared loaf pan.  Drizzle 1/4 cup of melted butter over the top of the loaf and bake for 55-60 minutes. 

I was worried about this bread tasting too bitter, but its not bitter at all.  It's actually a very nice flavor and would be a perfect bread to serve with soups or chili.
