Ingredients

For this recipe, I used the Guinness Draught Stout in an 11.2 oz bottle. Be sure to check your bottles, not all are the same size.

Here’s what else you’ll need for this recipe:

  • all purpose flour
  • baking powder
  • green onions
  • cheddar cheese
  • unsalted butter
  • salt
  • brown sugar
  • Guiness Draugh Stout (11.2 ounces) – the beer is the yeast needed for this bread.
  • bread loaf pan

This bread comes out super moist and full of buttery perfection. And perfectly cheesy, too! Not a fan of beer? Don’t worry, you’ll hardly notice it!

Seriously, this recipe is so good!

Instructions

This is one of the least complicated bread recipes to make. You’ll simply mix up the ingredients & bake. There’s no waiting around on rise time with most other traditional loaf breads.

Begin by greasing a bread pan with a bit of butter. Next, melt the 1/4 cup butter in a small sauce pan and set aside.

Then in a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar.
