CAST IRON SKILLET CORN BREAD
This is a great recipe and tastes better, I find, when cooked in a cast iron skillet and served hot tableside. I have also served this recipe for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner. Whether with jam and butter or fried chicken on the side, there are rarely leftovers!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and place a 9-inch cast iron skillet inside to heat while you make the batter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk in the milk, buttermilk, and eggs. Whisk in almost all of the melted butter, reserving about 1 tablespoon for the skillet later on.
- Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Coat the bottom and sides of the hot skillet with the remaining butter. Pour the batter into the skillet and place it in the center of the oven. Bake until the center is firm and a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes and serve.
CREOLE CAESAR SALAD WITH CORN BREAD CROUTONS
My love for okra began as a child and continues to border on just this side of insanity. I love okra. As a young boy, I would smuggle a brown bag full of fried okra into the movies as my better-than-popcorn snack. On Sunday nights, I was famous for making fried okra and creamed corn sandwiches with fresh slices of tomato and loads of Duke's mayonnaise. Years later, while studying in Italy, I realized that Italians also took leftover vegetables and made sandwiches. All you need are cold vegetables, bread, and mayo. The Caesar salad treatment makes this lighter than a sandwich, although if you want to give it more heft, you can add shrimp, chicken, or duck.

Steps:
- For the salad:
- Place half the fried okra in a large bowl and add the romaine, corn, corn bread, tomatoes, cucumber, and onion. Add the dressing and toss until well coated.

- For the Creole Caesar dressing:
- In a small saucepan, combine the oil, garlic, and onion. Cook over low heat until the garlic and onion are golden and tender, about 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic and onion to a food processor; reserve the oil.
- Add the vinegar, bell pepper, celery, sugar, cayenne, mayonnaise, Parmesan, and a pinch each of salt and black pepper to the food processor. Pulse until smooth. With the machine running, add the oil in a thin stream and process until emulsified. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Steps:
- Hydrate the corn flour with the boiling water, 1 hour, covered.
- Thoroughly mix all of the ingredients together (hydrated corn flour, additional water, rye flour, all purpose flour, sourdough starter and salt).
- Cover and let the dough ferment until it's aerated and domed (~6.5 hours in a 70F room). You won't see the dough double, but it will become domed and aerated.
- Preheat your oven to 400F with a stone/steel/baking sheet in it.
- Divide the dough in two, and place half in a floured bowl. Flour the top of the dough.
- Flip and swirl the dough in the bowl until you have a smooth loaf.
- Slide the dough onto a floured peel or parchment and place it in the oven on the hot stone.
- Repeat with the second half of the dough.
- Bake the loaves at 400F for 1 hour.
- The crust will be crunchy and the inside temperature should be over 205F.
Tips:
- For a moist and flavorful cornbread, use buttermilk instead of regular milk.
- Add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the batter for a touch of sweetness.
- For a crispy crust, preheat your oven to 450°F and bake the cornbread for 20-25 minutes.
- To make sure the cornbread is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cornbread is done.
- Let the cornbread cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Whether you're looking for a classic Southern cornbread or a more unique variation, there's a recipe in this article that's sure to please. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and satisfying cornbread that's perfect for any occasion.
