We all know guinness as the rich, dark stout brewed in dublin, ireland. It is one of the most well-known brands in the world. Guinness not only makes a great drink but has had an association with food for over 170 years and not just raising a pint of the black stuff alongside but actually used in the food. It has many, many uses in cooking as well, with this recipe for guinness bread being just one example. This recipe is a soda bread recipe, thus, incredibly simple to make and perfect for anyone who prefers to cut down on yeast. The recipe calls for draught guinness, but if that is a problem (i. E. , you don't have a pub handy where you can buy a pint) then use bottled.
