How to make the bread rolls

As seen above, to make the rolls the dry ingredients (flour, oats, salt, baking soda) get mixed together in a bowl and the liquid ingredients (Guinness, buttermilk/yoghurt, oil, honey) get mixed together in a measuring cup/jug.
Then everything is mixed together to make a wet dough which can be spooned onto lined trays and baked.

My mixture looks wet?

You can see from the picture below that the mixture isn’t like a traditional bread dough. This is a quite wet mixture that needs to be spooned into mounds and baked.

How long to bake the Guinness bread rolls for?

These Honey Oat Guinness Bread Rolls need to be baked for 15-20 minutes in a 425ºF/220ºC oven.

How do you know when bread rolls are cooked?

To check if the rolls are cooked you want to look for two things:

A) have the rolls got a golden even color on top?
B) carefully pick a roll up and use your knuckle to tap the bottom, if it feels soggy or doesn’t make a noise then the rolls need another couple of minutes.

How long will these Guinness bread rolls keep for?

Ideally you want to eat these bread rolls within a couple of days. Because they have no preservatives in them they start to get dry after day 3.

What to serve with your Bread Rolls:

As a side for:

  • Corned Beef and Cabbage Soup
  • Lemon and Rosemary Lentil Soup
  • Beef and Guinness Stew

Alternatively serve for breakfast or brunch with butter and jam or cream cheese and smoked salmon.

  • 2 2/3 cups  whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup  rolled oats – see note 1
  • 2 tsp koser salt/sea salt – see note 2
  • 2 tsp  baking soda
  • 1 1/4 cups  Guinness
  • 2/3 cup  buttermilk/runny yoghurt
  • 1/4 cup  oil – see note 3
  • 1/4 cup  honey
  • 2 tsp rolled oats – optional garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425ºF/220ºC.
  • Prepare you baking sheet by lining them with cooking/parchment paper.Mix the flour, oats, salt and baking soda together in a bowl.
  • In a large measuring cup/jug add the Guinness buttermilk, oil and honey together (See note 4 for tips on your honey)
  • Whisk the liquids together to dissolve the honey. Carefully pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spoon until you have a wet mixture.
  • Use the spoon to dollop out 12 roughly round balls onto the lined baking sheet.You can sprinkle a few oats over the top of each roll at this point. (purely optional but it looks pretty)
  • Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes minutes, or until they are golden brown and make a noise when you tap the bottom.
  • Transfer the roll to a cooling rack and serve when warm.
  • Alternately the rolls will keep for unto 3 days.

Notes

  1. Make sure you use rolled oats and not the quick cook oats.
  2. If you are using table salt then reduce the quantity to 1 teaspoon.
  3. When measuring out the honey and oil. Use your quarter cup measure to measure out the oil, then without washing use the same cup measure to measure out the honey, the residual oil in the cup will mean the honey runs out easily!
