Ingredients
- 200 g plain wholemeal flour (see Note 1)
- 250 g plain white flour (see Note 1)
- 50 g oats plus extra for sprinkling
- 1½ teaspoons salt or to taste
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda e.g. THIS ONE (see Note 2)
- 285 ml buttermilk e.g. THIS ONE (See Note 3)
- 125 ml Guinness e.g. THIS ONE (or another brand of stout)
- 50 g black treacle e.g. THIS ONE
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180C / 160C fan / gas mark 4 / 350F fan. Dust a non-stick baking tray with a little flour.
- In a large bowl, mix together thoroughly the two flours, 50g oats, salt and baking soda.
- Pour the buttermilk into the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
- Mix the Guinness and treacle together in a jug or separate bowl, until the treacle is well-dissolved into the Guinness. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
- Bring the dough together into a ball using your hands. The dough should just come together into a ball, but shouldn’t be wet and sloppy. (If it doesn’t all come together, add an extra splash of Guinness. If it’s too wet and sloppy add a touch more flour.)
- Roll the dough into a ball and place on your prepared baking tray.
- Flatten the ball a little and then cut a deep cross into it. The cross should go almost to the base of the loaf – but not quite!
- Sprinkle the loaf with oats (optional, but it does look pretty!)
- Bake the loaf in your pre-heated oven for 35-40 minutes until cooked all the way through and golden on top.
- Ideally, serve warm – straight out of the oven!
Notes
- Be sure to use plain (all purpose) flour NOT bread flour or self-raising flour
- Be sure to use baking soda (which is the same as bicarbonate of soda) DO NOT use baking powder, which is a different thing entirely!
- If you cannot get hold of buttermilk you can make ‘fake’ buttermilk, using vinegar and milk instead. Simply combine 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar and 200 ml milk (regular or plant-based). Use this in place of the buttermilk in the recipe above.
- Suitable for freezing.
