Guinness Bread With Butter And Smoked Salmon

• 2 cups rolled oats (Irish style preferred)
• 2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
• 12 ounces good unsalted butter, divided (I like Kerry Gold)
• 1/2 cup raw sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 1/4 cups buttrermilk
• 1 1/4 cups Guinness beer
• 6-8 ounces good smoked salmon or you can use lox, cut into 20 pieces
• 1 bunch watercress

1. Preheat oven to 425u0b0 F. Grease a 9-inch loaf pan and dust with whole wheat flour.
2. In a food processor, combine the flours, sugar, soda, and salt. Pulse. Add 8 oz of the butter cut in chunks, and pulse a few times until crurmbly.
3. Add the buttermilk, and Guinness and pulse a few times until combined. The batter will be wet like a cake batter.
4. Pour into prepared pan and sprinkle the top with some rolled oats and whole wheat flour. Bake for 30 minutes, then reduce heat to 400 F and bake 15 to 30 minutes longer. Bread is done when a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
5. Turn off the oven and cool with the door open for 30 minutes. Allow bread to cool completely before taking out of the pan.
6. Slice carefully (bread is tender) into 10 thick slices. Spread each slice with butter, Cut each slice in half. Lay some watercress leaves on top, and then top with a slice of smoked salmon.
7. Arrange on a serving plate and watch your guests devour them!
