• 170g whole milk
• 170g dark beer

1. For this recipe you require 2 mixing bowls: 1 big

3. Mix the strong white flour, wholemeal flour, dark malt powder,
salt and bicarbonate of soda (remember to sift if lumpy) in
a small mixing bowl and set aside. This is the dry mixture.
Make sure all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
4. Weigh out the milk and the beer together in the large mixing bowl.
5. Mix the dry ingredients together with the wet mixture
until it comes together and there are no dry lumps.
6. Transfer the mixture into a greased 500g baking tin.
7. Place the loaf in the oven and pour a cup of water
on to the hot tray to form steam, then lower the
oven to 200˚C (fan) / 400F / Gas 6.
8. Bake through for 30 to 35 minutes.
9. Remove the loaf from the tin and allow it to cool on a wire rack.

bottom, pop it back in the oven for another 5 minutes.
