Guinness Irish Bread has a simple farm house appeal that is hearty and delicious. Fresh from the oven with a heaping pat of Irish butter, a slice of this heavy bread washes down with a fabulous agrestic satisfaction. I enjoy the completeness of a table that features a fresh baked bread. This Irish Bread recipe captures the dark rich flavors of a Guinness Draught and puts them in a loaf of fresh filling bread that everyone in your home will enjoy. The simplicity of this recipe makes this bread that much more fun to make. Best enjoyed with a good stew like my Guinness Irish Beef stew, this bread is also fantastic covered in homemade preserves. My kids love to warm a slice of this bread, cover with a pat of butter and then add a gorgeous layer of my homemade peach preserve for a simple ready to go snack.
