Categories     Breads

Time 38m

Yield 2 loaves, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups white whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups cornmeal
1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (~105 degrees)
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons honey
3 large eggs, room temperature
2 cups corn (if frozen defrost to room temp)
2/3 cup chives, chopped
cornmeal
olive oil (for preparing loaf pans or muffin tins)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl whisk together the flour cornmeal and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a Kitchen-Aid type mixer, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Add about 2/3 of the flour/cornmeal mixture. Now add the olive oil, honey, just TWO of the eggs, corn, chives and begin to mix with the dough hook attachment at low speed. As the dough is starting to come together mixing begin adding more of the flour/cornmeal mixture a bit at a time, letting it incorporate along the way - you might not need to use all of it. Keep adding until you achieve a dough that is tacky. It should clear the sides of the bowl but stick to the bottom of the bowl. If the dough is too wet and doesn't come off the sides of the bowl, sprinkle in some more flour just until it clears the sides. If it clears the bottom of the bowl, add a teaspoon or two of water.
  • Dial up the speed a bit to medium, and keep mixing for about seven minutes. Turn the dough out onto a floured countertop, knead a few times, gather the dough into a ball and rub with a bit of olive oil. Place in a large, greased (olive oil) bowl, cover with a kitchen towl or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about an hour.
  • Once the dough has doubled, turn it out onto the countertop. To make the rolls you see in the photo up above, start by cutting the dough into thirds - three big wedges. Pat each third into a square shape and cut each into six pieces - you will end up with 18 equal size pieces. Without over-handling, shape each piece into a ball and place the muffin tins. Let the rolls rise in a warm spot until roughly doubled - another hour. Alternately, if you want to bake two loaves, cut the dough into two equal pieces, shape and place in prepared pans. I imagine, you can also bake this dough freeform if you like.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Just before baking whisk the remaining egg and brush on the dough, sprinkle with cornmeal. Bake the rolls for 18-20 minutes on the middle rack, or until rolls are golden. If you are baking loaves it will take significantly longer. Turn out onto cooling racks. Serve slathered with salted honey-butter.

RAISED GRIDDLE CAKES



Raised Griddle Cakes image

This is a very old-fashioned version of cornmeal pancakes which rise overnight. It came to our family via my great grandmother and dates back to the mid 1870s. The cornmeal gives these pancakes a tiny hint of fried mush, a splendid treat that exceeds my patience to make.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornmeal. Fresh cornmeal will give your cornbread a better flavor and texture than old cornmeal.
  • Grind your own cornmeal. If you can, grind your own cornmeal just before using it. This will give you the best flavor and texture.
  • Use buttermilk. Buttermilk will give your cornbread a moist and tender crumb. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cornbread in a hot oven. A hot oven will help the cornbread rise and give it a crispy crust.
  • Let the cornbread cool slightly before serving. This will help the cornbread hold its shape and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Yeast-raised cornbread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be served with a variety of meals. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste by adding different ingredients, such as cheese, bacon, or jalapeños. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced baker, you are sure to enjoy making and eating this delicious bread.
