Beer Bread (Irish Soda) Recipe

250g wholemeal flour
1½ tsp Baking Powder
¼tsp salt
½tsp clear honey
200ml full flavoured dark beer

Preheat the oven to 180°C, grease and flour a 1lb loaf tin. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the honey and beer to make a heavy, wet dough.

Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the surface. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Turn out and cool completely on a wire rack.

Seeded Beer Rolls

250g strong white flour
15g fresh yeast
5g salt
165g strong dark beer
100g mixed seeds

Place the flour into a large mixing bowl. Mix in the yeast, salt and beer. It should form a sticky dough. Turn onto a clean work surface. Knead until smooth.

Shape into a round ball, place in a clean bowl, cover and leave to rise until doubled in size.

Once proved, place the dough on the work surface and press all over to deflate. Divide into pieces, shape into rounds and place smooth side down into the mixed seeds.

Place the rolls onto a lined baking sheet and leave to prove again until doubled in size.

Then into the oven at 190ºC for 25 to 30 minutes until the puffed up and golden brown.

Transfer the rolls to a wire rack and leave to cool.

Guinness Bread

250g strong white flour
250g strong wholemeal flour
10g fine salt
10g fresh yeast
100g rolled oats
350ml guinness.
1tbsp honey
25g butter, melted
80g pre-ferment
50g rye flour, for dusting

For the pre-ferment mix 40g of dark rye flour, 1g of fresh yeast and 40ml of Guinness together to make a Poolish.

Leave the Poolish for 8-12 hours to allow the yeast to do it’s work.

Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl. Add the rolled oats and combine well. Mix the yeast with the water. Gradually add the beer to the dry ingredients followed by the honey, and melted butter. Mix to a soft dough, adding more liquid if necessary.

Knead for approximately 10 minutes or until the dough springs back when pressed. Place in a large bowl and leave to prove until doubled in size.

Once proved knock back the dough. Reshape to a smooth ball and place in well floured proving basket.

Cover again and leave to prove once more until doubled and light and springy to the touch.

Turn out the bread and place in a pre-heated casserole pan, cut or score the top of the bread.

Cover with a lid and place in the oven at 220ºC for 30 minutes then remove the lid and return the pan to the oven and cook for another 20 to 30 minutes, or until you are happy with the colour.

Finally remove the bread from the pan and leave to cool on a wire rack.
