I love a great Irish Guinness beer bread recipe, especially for St. Patrick’s Day.  This Guinness version comes together super fast and couldn’t be easier to make.  Five minutes of work will reward you with a heavenly aroma throughout your house and a warm, crusty loaf in under an hour.

You can really use any beer for this recipe, but the darker beer gives you a deeper flavor. You can even make it with non-alcoholic beer if you’d prefer!  Beer bread also has such simple ingredients — the basic recipe merely has flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, & beer— yet I’ve seen packages of it selling for up to eight dollars.  It’s definitely a better deal to make it at home!  This goes perfectly with my Guinness Beef Stew.  I love adding beer to food because of the unique flavor it gives.
Enjoy!

I love an easy Irish Guinness beer bread recipe, especially for St. Patrick's Day. This Guinness version comes together fast and couldn't be easier to make.
Ingredients
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375F degrees.
  2. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
  3. Add Guinness and eggs; stir just until blended.
  4. Pour into greased 9x5x3 loaf pan.
