St Patrick's Day Irish Guinness Brown Bread

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk, Guinness stout, and brown sugar until well combined.

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture.

Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and shape it into a round loaf.

Place the loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Using a sharp knife, score a deep cross on the top of the loaf.

Brush the top with melted butter for a golden crust.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
