A freshly baked Guinness and treacle bread on a rustic wooden table, featuring a dark, rich brown crust with a slightly glossy finish. A few slices are cut to reveal the dense, moist interior with a soft crumb. The loaf rests on a wooden cutting board, with scattered oats, a butter knife, and a small dish of butter nearby. Soft natural lighting enhances the warm, rustic tones.

Guinness and Treacle Bread

This bread is an old favourite of mine, originally created for the Michelin-starred restaurant at the Dorchester. Serve as a sandwich, piled high with crisp green salad, roasted red and yellow peppers and slivers of mustard-roasted beef. You need to start this the day before.
