Slashfood's Guiness Bread
Since we’re not going to be home for dinner tonight, I decided to make the Irish-American traditional last night. But before I did that, I was browsing the food web, and found this recipe for Guiness and Onion Bread on Slashfood. I started just after we ate lunch and wound up with some righteous loaves to eat with dinner. The bread is a combination white / whole wheat flour, with Guiness instead of water, and some sauteed onions folded in after the first rise. I haven’t ever thought of myself as a baker, but after my pizza dough experiences I am starting to gain some confidence. I baked these loaves right on my stone, at 400 for about 40 minutes. I knocked the bottoms, but I think next time I would go another 5 minutes.
To accompany the bread I made an excellent Niman Ranch Corned Beef* and for the last 35 minutes tossed in some baby gold potatoes, carrots, and the rest of the onion from the bread. I added some chopped cabbage to the bowls and spooned the hot veggies and broth over the top. This is my favorite way to cook cabbage, since it holds the texture perfectly. Try this with some shredded nappa cabbage next time you’re making an asian soup or curry.
* note that you can buy this beef for about 1/3rd the price at Trader Joe’s.
