Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar (Irish cheddar recommended, I used Kerrygold)
  • 12 ounces stout (I used Guinness)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (I used Kerrygold)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a loaf pan with parchment and/or grease with butter.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add shredded cheese and toss together so that each piece of cheese is coated with flour.
  • Add the stout and stir just until fully mixed. Pour into prepared pan. Allow to rest (preferably in a warm room, but our house is rather cold) for 20-30 minutes.
  • Cook in preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Five minutes before removing from oven, rub the top of the bread with butter until its coated with a wonderful melted layer.
  • Remove from oven as well as from pan and cool on cooling rack. Serve warm with more butter. To store, wrap tightly in plastic wrap.
