Equipment

1 large bowl
9x5 loaf pan

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp dried parsley*
2 tsp dried rosemary*
¼ cup olive oil
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 ⅔ cup Irish-Stout (or your favorite dark beer)

Instructions

Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 2 tsp baking powder, ensuring no clumps. Tip: Recommended to sift the dry ingredients into the bowl to break up clumps.
Then go ahead and add 1 tbsp granulated sugar, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp dried parsley, and 2 tsp dried rosemary.
Add the Wet: Pour in ¼ cup olive oil, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 1 ⅔ cups Irish stout. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix! The batter will be thick and bubbly.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared tin, smoothing the top. Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool & Enjoy: Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Slice when fully cooled and enjoy with butter, soups, or your favorite spreads!

Notes

Fresh Herbs Swap

If using fresh herbs instead of dried, reduce the beer to 1 ½ cups to prevent excess moisture from making the bread sink. If the batter feels too thick, add a splash or two of beer as needed. Also double the amount of fresh versus dried herbs.

Storage

Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week. Toast slices before serving for the best texture.

Freezing Tip

Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temp or warm in the oven before serving.
