Ingredients
- 375 grams all-purpose flour
- 75 grams whole wheat flour
- 10 grams baking powder
- 5 grams baking soda
- 7 grams salt
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 60 grams unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 355 milliliters imperial stout beer
- 15 grams rolled oats (optional, for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 3
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the melted butter and the imperial stout beer.
Step 4
Stir the mixture gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick but slightly lumpy.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. If using, sprinkle the rolled oats over the top for a rustic finish.
Step 6
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Step 8
Serve warm or at room temperature. This bread pairs well with butter, jam, cheese, or hearty soups.
