Skillet Corn Bread image

A simple, slightly sweet corn bread made in the versatile cast-iron skillet. Tastes great and is a good base recipe to experiment with. Cast-iron skillets take a little bit of time to warm up. Pre-warming the skillet allows the corn bread to cook evenly.

CHEESY CARAMELIZED ONION SKILLET BREAD



Cheesy Caramelized Onion Skillet Bread image

This appetizer is perfect for a football game or informal party, but it came about because I have two sons who are always hungry. I needed time to get dinner on the table after coming home from work. They love the skillet bread for the flavor, and I love it because it keeps them in the kitchen to chat while I prepare the rest of dinner! If you'd like, you can use homemade biscuits instead of prepared. -Mary M. Leverette, Columbia, South Carolina

CARAMELIZED ONION SKILLET CORN BREAD



Caramelized Onion Skillet Corn Bread image

As part of GMA's $15 Dinner Dare series, each day an anchor unveiled a list of secret ingredients, then a chef had to prepare a tempting family meal live on the air with the newly unveiled ingredients. Emeril Lagasse was the second chef to take on the challenge. His list of surprise ingredients included only vegetables: black beans, pinto beans and spinach, so he contrived this side dish from the GMA pantry. I've never known anyone who could instantly caramelize onions, so this method was a huge surprise. Now, if you'd rather be more traditional, you can always caramelize onions (cut in 1/2 inch pieces) in the skillet over medium heat using a couple of tablespoons of butter and a little oil, sauteing until they turn brown and caramelize, then melt the remaining butter in the skillet (add sugar here if you like sweet cornbread) and continue with the recipe as written. Prep time includes time to heat the skillet.

1 cup lukewarm water
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
2 1/4 cups bread flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

  • To prepare the sponge, place the water in a mixing bowl.

  • Mix in the 1 cup bread flour.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit overnight or for 14-16 hours.
  • To prepare the onions, heat the olive oil and sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat for 1 minute.
  • Add the onions, stir well, and saute, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes or until browned and caramelized.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool.
  • To prepare the dough, place the water in the bowl of an electric mixer or in a mixing bowl.
  • Sprinkle the yeast over the top, stir in, and let sit for 2 minutes.
  • Add the sponge, bread flour, whole-wheat flour, salt and pepper.
  • Mix with the dough hook for 2 minutes, or until the ingrediets are combine.
  • Or beat vigoursly with a wooden spoon for 8-10 minutes.
  • Let the dough rest for 15 mintes.
  • Add the caramelized onions and resume mixing, continuing for 12-14 minutes or until the dough is silky and elastic and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  • The dough should be very wet and sticky, but still elastic.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap.
  • Let rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in volume.
  • Turn over a baking sheet and set a piece of parchment paper on it.
  • Place the dough on a well-floured work surface, handling it gently to preserve as much volume as possible and cut into 2 equal pices.
  • Gently pull and stretch each piece of dough into a flat round, about 1 1/4 inches thick.
  • Transfer to the parchment paper.
  • You may have to reshape once you have moved it.
  • Cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • To avoid the plastic from sticking to the dough, spray the dough with some cooking spray.
  • Place a baking stone on the middle rack in the oven and preheat to 450 degrees.
  • Using a spray bottle, spritz the oven walls with water.
  • Work quickly so the oven does not lose heat.
  • You could also quickly place several ice cubes in the bottom of the oven after you have placed the loaves in the oven.
  • Slide the loaves, still on the parchment paper, into the oven onto the hot stone.
  • Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the bread brown.
  • Transfer the flatbreads to a rack to cool.
  • Note: I could only bake one loaf at a time.
  • Next time I will forget about turning the dough onto a floured board.
  • I'll gently dump half of the dough onto each piece of parchment paper and shape it there.

  • Be sure to caramelize the onions over medium-low heat. This will allow them to develop a deep, rich flavor without burning.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough, dense cornbread.
