Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 ounce active dry yeast -- 2 packages
2 cups warm water -- 110 - 115F
3/4 cup coarse yellow cornmeal -- plus extra for coating pan
1/2 cup dark molasses
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter -- softened
1 teaspoon salt
5 1/2 cups bread flour
In the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk together the yeast and the
warm water. Let stand about 10 minutes, until foamy.
Fit the mixer with the dough hook attachment and beat in the
cornmeal, molasses, butter, and salt. Mix in the flour, 1 cup at a
time, to make a moderately stiff dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly-floured surface and knead for 6 to
8 minutes, until smooth and elastic, adding only enough flour to
prevent sticking.
Transfer the dough to a large bowl coated with vegetable oil and turn
the dough to coat all surfaces. Cover with a slightly damp towel and
let rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until
doubled in size.
Punch the dough down. Turn out onto a lightly-floured work surface
and divide it in half. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a large baking pan with butter and
sprinkle with cornmeal.
Shape each half of the dough into a ball. Place the balls, smooth
sides up, on the prepared baking pans. Flatten each ball into a
6-inch round loaf. Cover and let rise for 30 to 45 minutes, until
almost doubled in size.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until almost doubled in size. Serve
warm or cooled and toasted.
