Anadama Bread Recipe

Prep: 40 min. + rising Bake: 25 min.

Yield: 12 Servings

40 25 65

Ingredients

1/2 cup water
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup molasses
2 tablespoons butter
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
1 teaspoon salt
3 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

In a small saucepan, bring water and cornmeal to a boil. Reduce heat; cook for 2 minutes or until mixture thickens, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; stir in molasses and butter. Cool to 110°-115°.
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the cornmeal mixture, salt and 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; shape into a loaf. Place in a greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
Bake at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until browned (cover loosely with foil if top browns too quickly). Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool. Yield: 1 loaf (12 slices).

This is wonderful bread! I had not tried it but took a chance and made it for a luncheon for my art class. They loved it and I was thrilled... Tastes great, looks good and is easy to make. My only problem was in getting it to rise; I wound up heating some water, putting a cake rack on the pan, then put the bowl of bread on the rack and covered it with a towel. Very good results.
