What a tasty combination-honey and cornmeal. It makes wonderful toast in the morning and great sandwiches. I have made this for many years and it always rises perfectly into nice, round loaves. It is easy to make and not too many ingredients. Ingredients:
1 package dry yeast |
1/4 cup warm water |
2/3 cup cornmeal |
2 teaspoons salt |
3 cups milk |
2/3 cup honey |
3 tablespoons butter |
6 1/2-7 cups flour |
Directions:
1. Dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit to proof some.
2. In a large bowl combine the cornmeal and salt.
3. Heat the milk (about 115 degrees), butter, and honey in a saucepan and add slowly to the cornmeal, stirring all the time.
4. Add 3 cups of the flour and mix well.
5. Add yeast mixture stirring well.
6. Add the rest of the flour gradually to make a stiff dough.
7. Knead 100 times and place in a greased bowl to rise till double-about 1 hour.
8. Punch down and rise again till double for about 1/2-3/4 hour.
9. Turn onto floured counter and divide into two pieces.
10. Form into 2 loaves and put in greased pans.
11. Rise again till double.
12. Bake 375 degrees for about 40-45 minute.
13. If they start getting too brown, cover with aluminum foil.
