    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
       3/4  C             Warm Water -- (105 - 115F)
     2 1/2  Tsp           Rapid-Rise Yeast
       1/2  Tsp           Sugar
     1 1/4  C             All-Purpose Flour
       1/3  C             Yellow Cornmeal
     1      Tsp           Salt

This recipe makes 2 small loaves of cornmeal bread:  You can freeze 1 loaf, 
wrapped in plastic wrap, up to 2 weeks.

Lightly grease 2 loaf pans, 5 1/2 by 3 by 2 1/2".

In a bowl stir together warm water, yeast, and sugar and let stand until 
foamy, about 5 min.  In a small bowl stir together flour, cornmeal, and 
salt and gradually stir into yeast mixture, stirring until a soft dough is 
formed.  On a lightly floured work surface with floured hands knead dough 5 
min, or until smooth and elastic, and shape into a ball.  Let dough rest, 
covered, 10 min.

Form dough into 2 ovals.  Transfer dough to loaf pans and let rise, covered 
loosely with plastic wrap, in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 30 min.

Preheat oven to 400F.

Bake loaves in middle of oven 20 min, or until tops are golden and bread 
pulls away slightly from sides of pans.  Cool loaves in pans on a 
rack.  Bread may be made 1 day ahead and kept wrapped in plastic wrap at 
room temperature.

Makes 2 loaves, each loaf serving 4.

NOTES:
We made these to give as holiday gifts to the neighbors.  Instead of making 
2 small loaves we made 1 out of the dough.  It didn't rise very much and 
was dense but very tasty.
