Categories     side-dish

Time 3h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter
1 3/4 cups fine yellow cornmeal
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 15-ounce can sweet potato puree
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup honey
4 large eggs
Juice of 1 lemon
1 pound bulk sweet Italian sausage
1 red onion, small dice
3 stalks celery, small dice
2 carrots, small dice
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups good quality chicken stock, plus more if needed
1/2 cup apple cider

Steps:

  • For the cornbread: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, put the butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and leave in the oven until melted, about 8 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven and set aside.
  • Mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and a generous pinch of salt and pepper in a medium bowl until combined. Whisk together the sweet potato puree, milk, honey, eggs and lemon juice in a large bowl. Pour the melted butter into the wet ingredients and whisk to combine. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, then pour the batter into the cast-iron skillet.
  • Lower the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the cornbread until golden orange and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool completely, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment and spread the cornbread cubes on top. Toast in the oven, flipping halfway through, until browned and crispy along the edges, about 20 minutes. Set aside. (Leave the oven on.)
  • For the dressing: Crumble the sausage into a large skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until browned, about 8 minutes. Remove the sausage crumbles from the pan with a slotted spoon and remove to a large bowl. Add the onion, celery, carrot and thyme to the skillet with the sausage fat, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sweat the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add to the bowl with the sausage, then add the chicken stock, apple cider and cornbread cubes and stir until moist but not mushy. Place in a 9-inch square casserole dish and bake until the top is crusty and golden, about 30 minutes.

Provided by realbirdlady

Categories     Yeast Breads

Time 2h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup warm water
2 1/2 teaspoons yeast (1 package)
2 cups flour
1 1/4 cups cornmeal
1 cup sweet potato, grated
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Sprinkle to yeast over the warm water in a large bowl. Let stand 5-10 minutes, until foamy.
  • Stir in remaining ingredients.
  • Knead 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. (Compared to traditional breadstick dough, this may feel oily, and won't develop such obvious gluten strands.).
  • Cover and let rise about an hour, until doubled in bulk.
  • Preheat over to 350°F.
  • Roll dough into 8-10-inch-long sticks and place on a greased baking sheet. Thinner sticks (pencil-sized) will be crunchier and have more of a caramelized taste. Thicker sticks (finger-sized) will have distinct crust and bread textures.
  • Bake about 10 minutes, until lightly browned.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh cornmeal and sweet potatoes will give your breadsticks the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the breadsticks tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the dough rest: Resting the dough will allow the gluten to relax and make the breadsticks easier to shape.
  • Bake the breadsticks until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a crispy exterior.
  • Serve the breadsticks warm: Cornmeal sweet potato breadsticks are best served warm, but they can also be enjoyed at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Cornmeal sweet potato breadsticks are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a holiday party. With their unique flavor and texture, these breadsticks are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
