Guinness stout beer bread .....My first attempt at baking with Guinness stout. This is a no- yeast bread, very simple and quick to prepare. It also saves a lot of time as being without yeast, there's no necessity for the dough to prove. I made this all within 1.15 hrs.
As you can see, the texture is dense but the taste is rather unique. That goes for the shape too! This bread is best eaten fresh and you can have them with stew, soup or even good old butter and jam. I'll let you know what I served this with in my next post ..... so stay tuned!

How interesting to bake bread with beer! I was just looking at another blogger bake a loaf with beer earlier... Does it have any alcohol taste?
ReplyDeleteNo, it doesn't but the taste of the bread is somewhat different from other breads. I like it.
