Irish Brown Bread with Guinness Reduction
Raglan Road

 Makes 1 (3-pound) loaf 

Irish Brown Bread
6 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 cups rolled oats, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
4 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup Guinness
1/4 cup molasses 

Guinness Reduction
2 cups Guinness
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup olive oil, for service 

For Irish brown bread:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9 1/2x5x3-inch loaf pan or a 9×9 square pan; set aside.
2. Combine all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, 1 cup rolled oats, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl.
3. Whisk together buttermilk, Guinness, and molasses in a medium bowl.
4. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture in three batches, mixing and folding dough by hand lightly; the mixture should be sticky.
5. Transfer dough to prepared pan and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup oats, pressing lightly to adhere.
6. Bake until bread is golden brown and makes a hollow sound when top is tapped, about 40 to 50 minutes.
7. Remove from pan and cool slightly before serving. Serve with Guinness Reduction and olive oil. 

For Guinness reduction:

1. Combine the Guinness and sugar in a medium saucepan.
2. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer. Note: Do not leave the pot unattended while it is coming to a boil, as it may boil over.
3. Simmer until mixture is reduced by half and is thick and syrup-like, about 1 hour.
4. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature
5. For service, place 1/4 cup olive oil in a saucer or small plate. Drizzle with 1/4 cup Guinness Reduction.
6. Refrigerate any remaining reduction for up to 2 weeks.

Well....my laryngitis is improving, as is the "deaf ear" (still not completely cleared, tho), but now hubby has a sore throat and is hacking off and on. Great timing, of course....right before a long plane flight!

Oh Jet...so sorry hubby is not feeling great...but so glad you are on the mend.  Again I hope "mother nature" will be kind to the east coast while you are out here...

 
Thanks, CEK....he seemed a bit perkier this evening, although he didn't do much today.  His throat is starting out as mine did....no sinus....just something in the throat.  This morning his voice was very low and scratchy, but improved as the day went on.  My luck would be that he catches whatever I had!!

Oh, and yes, CEK. we're getting hit with the Nor'easter tomorrow.
 

It is really cold here in VA too and looks like snow...they say we may get some flurries on Wednesday...my daughter in DC said they are expecting snow tomorrow too!!!

 
Hoping it doesn't interfere with air travel by Thursday!! I'm more concerned about the possibility of (stupid) protestors at LAX than snow in DC!!!  LOL. You just deal with snow when it happens; protestors I have little patience for when what they are doing won't change how the law works but rather just anger those whom they directly impact (who have no ability to change things anyway).

Hi, everyone. Gabriele, if you're still out there, Happy Birthday! I'm tutoring right now but popping in when I have a lull. D2 had her first official robotics competition with her new team. They did a good job.

I am behind in my guesses! When does the season start? Is it next week?

I hope everyone is well. Sending hugs to April and Niecey.

Good to here from you Vmmm..
Glad D2 did good with her competition and the new team.
No you are not behind on the guesses, we are just doing some pre-show guesses and waiting till we watch the first show to see how things are looking...Yep it starts next Monday night...Hope you can join us!!!

vmmmom you could guess now who will be first to go home.  Luv is giving us 2 chances at that - before we see the first show, and then after...for 2 chances for points.

YEA, Luv!!!  

So....for anyone who is wondering, I had a brief but much appreciated phone call from gunner this morning....from....where else?!.....a quilt shop that is going out of business near her!  She is doing fine and sends her greetings to everyone on the mb.  The shop still had some flannel wolf fabric I've collected for a quilt...but I already have the fabric.  One of these days I will get that quilt put together!!  LOL. It is kind've one of my many UFO's, although I haven't actually started it yet.  I did make one for son and DIL for Christmas....and think I'd like one for us.

So many projects.....so little time!!!  Lol
