The original recipe from the restaurant calls for 4 loaves, but I have cut the recipe in half here so that you can make just 2 loaves.

Ingredients:

¼ cup Guinness

2 pounds or 7 ¼ cups of Whole meal flour (whole wheat)

1/3 cup All-purpose Flour

1 ½ teaspoon of salt

1 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

2 cups Oats, rolled

2 ounces or ¼ cup of Molasses

1 quart of buttermilk

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
• Place all dry ingredients in a large bowl
• Combine all wet ingredients in a separate bowl
• Add the wet to the dry in 3 batches as you mix and fold by hand lightly; the mixture should be quite sticky
• Portion into a greased or buttered muffin pan OR 2 loaf pans
• Sprinkle on top with some oats and press into dough lightly
• Bake in the oven until golden brown and it makes a “hollow” sound when tapped on the bottom – about 20 to 30 minutes
• Remove from the pans and cool slightly

Guinness Reduction

Ingredients:

1 pint of Guinness Beer

1 pint (2 cups) of Sugar

Directions:

• Combine the Guinness, and sugar in a large saucepan
• Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer until reduced by half (approx. 1 hour)
• Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature
• Refrigerate to store

To serve, place 2 oz of Olive oil in a saucer / small plate and drizzle 2 oz of Guinness Reduction at room temperature, serve as a dip for the bread
