CORNMEAL MOLASSES BREAD

I've been making this bread for years, and it is my absolute favorite! It has a slightly sweet flavor, and a slight "crunch" from the cornmeal. It's great for sandwiches, and makes the BEST toast!!

Categories     Breads

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 c very warm water (about 110 degrees)
1/4 c molasses
1 pkg active dry yeast (or 2 1/4 tsp.)
1 Tbsp canola or vegetable oil
3-4 c bread flour
1/4 c corn meal
1/2 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the warm water, molasses, and active dry yeast in a glass measuring cup or small bowl. Stir with whisk until yeast dissolves, and then let stand about 5-10 min. until yeast proofs.
  • 2. Add the oil to the yeast mixture. In a large bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, and about 2 cups of the flour. Add the yeast mixture, and stir to combine. Add flour a little at a time until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  • 3. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface, adding flour if needed, until dough is smooth and elastic (8-10 min.). Put dough in an oiled bowl (or spray with cooking spray), and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap or damp towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled.
  • 4. When doubled in size, deflate dough, and shape into loaf. Place loaf in a greased 9 x 5 in. loaf pan, cover, and let rise until it's about 1/2 in. above the pan. Bake at 375 for about 25 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool. For a softer crust, brush top lightly with melted butter after baking.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cornmeal: Use a fine or medium-grind cornmeal for a smooth,细腻的 texture. Coarse cornmeal will give the bread a more rustic,粗犷的 texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour and make the bread tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Cornmeal molasses bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover cornmeal and molasses, and it can be made in a variety of ways to suit your taste. Whether you like it sweet or savory, this bread is sure to please everyone at your table.
