Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 4 cups spelt flour
  • ¼ cup dark brown sugar (packed )
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup raisins (roughly chopped)
  • ½ cup walnuts (roughly chopped)
  • 1 cup greek yogurt (plain )
  • 1 cup stout beer

Instruction

  • Set the oven rack to the center position. Preheat to 400°F (204ºC).
  • In a large mixing bowl combine flour, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, raisins, and walnuts.
  • Add the yogurt and beer. Stir until the dough comes together into a ball. If the dough seems too wet, add a tablespoon more flour at a time. The dough should be slightly sticky but easy to shape.
  • Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and knead into a rough ball, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Shape into a 12-inch long by 4-inch wide loaf, transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Sprinkle dough with a little flour and use a sharp knife to make 4 diagonal scores across the surface.
  • Bake for about 40 to 45 minutes, until the loaf sounds hollow when tapped or the internal temperature reaches 180°F (82ºC).
  • Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack, or serve warm.
