Raglan Road Guinness Dipping Sauce

Raglan Road Guinness Dipping sauce can be found at the Raglan Road located in Downtown Disney this sauce goes perfectly with Irish soda bread.

One of the best parts of eating at the Raglan Road is enjoying homemade Irish soda bread with their well-known Guinness dipping sauce. The Guinness dipping sauce is a reduction of Guinness sweetened with sugar. This delicious sauce takes no time at all to prepare.

Reduce the sauce carefully

It’s important to reduce the Guinness/sugar mixture carefully. It needs to be simmered on low for about an hour – this will reduce it by at least half. The more reduction, the more tang you will get. You don’t need to stand over the pot for a whole hour, but you do need to pay attention and give it a stir every now and then.

What makes Guinness so full of flavor.

Even if you’re not Irish, you must be familiar with the Irish dry stout called Guinness. Guinness stout is an offshoot of the porter style of beer that was originally made in London in the early 18th century. Guinness has a very distinctive burnt flavor that comes from the use of roasted unmalted barley. The wonderfully enticing thick creamy head of Guinness results from the beer being mixed with nitrogen when being poured.

• When you are ready to serve the sauce place equal amounts of the reduction and olive oil (you do not need to use extra virgin, in fact, don’t, the flavor won’t be right). 
• Dip pieces of bread into the reduction and enjoy. Irish Soda Bread This is not the Raglan Road's Irish soda bread, this is an Irish Soda bread that I like to make. I couldn't get past the delicious dipping sauce to even begin to focus on their bread. 

Irish Soda Bread

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. 
• Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the butter is well dispersed and you have a crumbly mixture. Add the buttermilk and stir until just moistened. 
• Knead for 1 minute on a floured surface. Shape into a ball and place into a 1 1/2 quart greased casserole. Use a sharp knife to cut an ‘X’ across the top. Brush with milk and bake for about 45 minutes tented with foil for the last 15 minutes. Turn loaf onto a wire rack to cool.
