Ingredients

3 cups Flour sifted
3 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Salt
12 oz Guinness Beer room temperature
1/3 cup Honey
4 tbsp Butter melted

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 F. and grease a bread loaf pan.
In a mixing bowl, measure and sift 3 cups of flour. Then stir in the 3 tsp of baking powder and 1 tsp of salt.
To the center of the flour mixture, pour in the room temperature (must be room temp) Guinness beer and then the honey.
Gently fold the beer and honey into the flour until the foam subsides and the mixture becomes a tacky dough. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the greased bread pan and spread it out evenly.
Carefully pour the melted butter over the top so it spread out as evenly across the top of the dough.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the dough is set and golden brown and the center comes out clean with a toothpick.
Let cool for 1 hour before removing from the loaf pan. Slice and serve as desired.
