-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 c Fine yellow cornmeal
3/4 c Very hot water
1/2 c Warm milk -- to 3/4 cups
2 tsps Instant yeast
2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
1 tsp Salt
1 tbsp Honey
1 tbsp Olive oil
Extra flour -- for dusting
Put the cornmeal in a bowl and add the hot water to it. Mix together
with a fork and then add 1/2 cup of the warm milk. Mix everything
till you have a paste like dough. Let it sit until the mixture cools
a little and becomes lukewarm.
>From here you can knead by hand or machine. Put the cornmeal dough
and all the remaining ingredients. Mix together the cornmeal and hot
water in a small bowl. Stir in the warm milk, and let the mixture
cool to lukewarm. Then add the remaining ingredients and mix and
knead them together -- by hand, mixer or bread machine -- to form a
smooth, slightly sticky dough.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, and turn it around to coat well.
Cover loosely and let it rise for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours until it is puffy.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it lightly a
couple of times. Shape into a ball and place it on a parchment or
lightly floured/ greased baking tray. Cover loosely and let it rise
for about an hour till it looks quite puffed up.
Just before baking, if you choose to, make 3 or 4 slashes about 1/4"
deep on the crust. Spritz the top lightly with water and bake the
loaf at 450F/230C for 10 minutes. Then turn down the heat to
400F/200C and let it bake for about 15 to 20 minutes till it is done
and golden brown in color.
Let it cool. Slice and serve.
Makes: 1 loaf (about 12 slices).
